condor_on
Start up HTCondor daemons
Synopsis
condor_on [-help | -version ]
condor_on [-debug ] [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [ -name hostname | hostname | -addr “<a.b.c.d:port>” | “<a.b.c.d:port>” | -constraint expression | -all ] [-daemon daemonname]
Description
condor_on starts up a set of the HTCondor daemons on a set of
machines. This command assumes that the condor_master is already
running on the machine. If this is not the case, condor_on will fail
complaining that it cannot find the address of the master. The command
condor_on with no arguments or with the -daemon master option
will tell the condor_master to start up the HTCondor daemons
specified in the configuration variable DAEMON_LIST
. If a daemon
other than the condor_master is specified with the -daemon
option, condor_on starts up only that daemon.
This command cannot be used to start up the condor_master daemon.
For security reasons of authentication and authorization, this command requires ADMINISTRATOR level of access.
Options
- -help
Display usage information
- -version
Display version information
- -debug

stderr
, based on the value of the configuration variableTOOL_DEBUG
.- -pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]

- -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_on will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
Examples
To begin running all daemons (other than condor_master) given in the
configuration variable DAEMON_LIST
on the local host:
$ condor_on
To start up only the condor_negotiator on two named machines:
$ condor_on robin cardinal -daemon negotiator
To start up only a daemon within a pool of machines 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 starts up only the condor_schedd daemon on the single machine named cae17 within the pool of machines that has condor.cae.wisc.edu as its central manager:
$ condor_on -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17 -daemon schedd
