Name
       condor_master The - master Condor Daemon

Synopsis
       condor_master

Description
       This  daemon  is  responsible for keeping all the rest of the Condor daemons running on each machine in your pool. It spawns the other dae-
       mons, and periodically checks to see if there are new binaries installed for any of them. If there are, the condor_masterwill  restart  the
       affected  daemons.  In  addition,  if  any  daemon  crashes, the condor_masterwill send e-mail to the Condor Administrator of your pool and
       restart the daemon. The condor_masteralso supports various administrative  commands  that  let  you  start,  stop  or  reconfigure  daemons
       remotely. The condor_masterwill run on every machine in your Condor pool, regardless of what functions each machine are performing.

       Section 3.1.2in the Administrator's Manual has more information about the condor_masterand other Condor daemons. See Section 3.9.2for docu-
       mentation on command line arguments for condor_master.

       The  DAEMON_LIST configuration macro is used by the condor_masterto provide a per-machine list of daemons that should be started  and  kept
       running.  For  daemons that are specified in the  DC_DAEMON_LIST configuration macro, the condor_masterdaemon will spawn them automatically
       appending a -fargument. For those listed in  DAEMON_LIST , but not in  DC_DAEMON_LIST , there will be no -fargument.
