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 daemons, 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 documentation 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.
