Name¶
condor_preen remove - extraneous files from Condor directories
Synopsis¶
condor_preen [-mail] [-remove] [-verbose]
Description¶
condor_preenexamines the directories belonging to Condor, and removes extraneous
files and directories which may be left over from Condor processes which
terminated abnormally either due to internal errors or a system crash. The
directories checked are the LOG , EXECUTE , and SPOOL directories as defined
in the Condor configuration files. condor_preenis intended to be run as user
root or user condor periodically as a backup method to ensure reasonable file
system cleanliness in the face of errors. This is done automatically by
default by the condor_masterdaemon. It may also be explicitly invoked on an as
needed basis.
When condor_preencleans the SPOOL directory, it always leaves behind the files
specified in the configuration variable VALID_SPOOL_FILES as given by the
configuration. For the LOG directory, the only files removed or reported are
those listed within the configuration variable INVALID_LOG_FILES list. The
reason for this difference is that, in general, the files in the LOG directory
ought to be left alone, with few exceptions. An example of exceptions are core
files. As there are new log files introduced regularly, it is less effort to
specify those that ought to be removed than those that are not to be removed.
