condor_master

The master Condor Daemon

Synopsis

condor_master

Description

condor_master 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 master will restart the affected daemons. In addition, if any daemon crashes, the master will send email to the Condor Administrator of your pool and restart the daemon. The condor_master also supports various administrative commands that let you start, stop or reconfigure daemons remotely. The condor_master will run on every machine in your Condor pool, regardless of what functions each machine are performing.

See section 3.1.2 in Admin Manual for more information about condor_master and other Condor daemons.
