condor_preen

remove extraneous files from Condor directories

Synopsis

condor_preen [-mail] [-remove] [-verbose]

Description

condor_preen examines 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_preen is 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_master. It may also be explicitly invoked on an as needed basis.

Options

Supported options are as follows:

-mail

Send mail to the CONDOR_ADMINISTRATORS as defined in the Condor configuration files instead of writing to the standard output

-remove

Remove the offending files and directories rather than just reporting on them

-verbose

List all files found in the Condor directories, even those which are not considered extraneous
