condor_reconfig

Reconfigure Condor daemons

Synopsis

condor_reconfig [-help $\vert$ -version]

condor_reconfig [-debug] [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [-name hostname $\vert$ hostname $\vert$ -addr "$<$a.b.c.d:port$>$" $\vert$ "$<$a.b.c.d:port$>$" $\vert$ -constraint expression $\vert$ -all ] [-daemon daemonname]

Description

condor_reconfig reconfigures all of the Condor daemons in accordance with the current status of the Condor configuration file(s). Once reconfiguration is complete, the daemons will behave according to the policies stated in the configuration file(s). The main exception is with the DAEMON_LIST variable, which will only be updated if the condor_restart command is used. Other configuration variables that can only be changed if the Condor daemons are restarted are listed in section 3.3.1 on page . In general, condor_reconfig should be used when making changes to the configuration files, since it is faster and more efficient than restarting the daemons.

The command condor_reconfig with no arguments or with the -daemon master option will cause the reconfiguration of the condor_master daemon and all the child processes of the condor_master.

For security purposes (authentication and authorization), this command requires an administrator's level of access. See section 3.6.1 on page  for further explanation.

Options

-help

Display usage information

-version

Display version information

-debug

Causes debugging information to be sent to stderr, based on the value of the configuration variable TOOL_DEBUG

-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]

Specify a pool by giving the central manager's host name and an optional port number

-name hostname

Send the command to a machine identified by hostname

hostname

Send the command to a machine identified by hostname

-addr "$<$a.b.c.d:port$>$"

Send the command to a machine's master located at "$<$a.b.c.d:port$>$"

"$<$a.b.c.d:port$>$"

Send the command to a machine located at "$<$a.b.c.d:port$>$"

-constraint expression

Apply this command only to machines matching the given ClassAd expression

-all

Send the command to all machines in the pool

-daemon daemonname

Send the command to the named daemon. Without this option, the command is sent to the condor_master daemon.

Exit Status

condor_reconfig will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.

Examples

To reconfigure the condor_master and all its children on the local host:

% condor_reconfig

To reconfigure only the condor_startd on a named machine:

% condor_reconfig -name bluejay -daemon startd

To reconfigure a machine within a pool other than the local pool, use the -pool option. The argument is the name of the central manager for the pool. Note that one or more machines within the pool must be specified as the targets for the command. This command reconfigures the single machine named cae17 within the pool of machines that has condor.cae.wisc.edu as its central manager:

% condor_reconfig -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
