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.
