NAME

condor - An LCFG component to manage the Condor batch system

DESCRIPTION

This component configures and runs the Condor batch system. To find out about Condor see the Condor Project Homepage at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/.

RESOURCES

version

The version number of the Condor distribution to be used on this machine (for example 6.7.10).

home

The directory in which Condor is installed on this machine. If this resource is not set, the component will look for Condor in the directory /opt/condor-version where version is the value of the condor.version resource described above. The component will fail if either this directory does not exist or if the command condor_restart cannot be found in the sbin subdirectory. A running Condor component will not recognise changes to this resource; to put changes into effect it is necessary to stop and start the component.

admin

The email address to which Condor should send administrative messages. The email should go to those people who have administrative power over Condor, rather than to Condor users. This resource sets the value of the Condor configuration variable CONDOR_ADMIN. A running Condor component will not recognise changes to this resource; to put changes into effect it is necessary to stop and start the component.

poolname

The name of the Condor pool of which this host will form part. The name should match the name of the pool whose central manager host is given in the managerhostname resource. This resource sets the value of the Condor configuration variable COLLECTOR_NAME. A running Condor component will not recognise changes to this resource; to put changes into effect it is necessary to stop and start the component.

managerhostname

The name of the host acting as the central manager for the Condor pool of which this host will form part. A running Condor component will not recognise changes to this resource; to put changes into effect it is necessary to stop and start the component.

ismanagerhost

Indicates whether this host is a pool manager or not. A boolean value such as true or false is expected. The default value is false. Failing to set the resource sets a false value. A change in this resource will make a running condor component restart Condor. This may not be the appropriate action to take if this host is starting to be, or stopping being, a pool manager. In these circumstances the component should be stopped then restarted to force a proper reconfiguration.

issubmithost

Indicates whether jobs can be submitted from this host to the Condor pool or not. A boolean value such as true or false is expected. The default value is false. Failing to set the resource sets a false value. Changing the value of this resource will trigger a rebuild of the Condor configuration files followed by a restart of the Condor software (using the condor_restart command).

isexecutehost

Indicates whether this host will execute jobs for the Condor pool or not. A boolean value such as true or false is expected. The default value is false. Failing to set the resource sets a false value. Changing the value of this resource will trigger a rebuild of the Condor configuration files followed by a restart of the Condor software (using the condor_restart command).

explicitconfig

This resource contains a (space-separated) list of tags, one for each config resource.

config

Each config_tag resource contains a line of Condor configuration code to be inserted directly into the Condor configuration file. tag should be listed in the explicitconfig resource.

wheesht

When set to true this resource stops Condor from running jobs on the machine during the time period denoted by the startwheesht and stopwheesht resources. For example it can be used to keep the machine free of Condor jobs during the working day. This option is useful for machines which are particularly noisy under heavy load conditions. The default value is false.

startwheesht

When the wheesht resource is set to true this resource denotes the start time of a period during which Condor is disabled. When the wheesht resource is set to false this resource has no effect. The time should be expressed in the form of a whole number of minutes since the start of the day. For example, a desired startwheesht time of 07:00 would mean a value for this resource of 420 (that is, 7 multiplied by 60). The default value is 540, meaning 09:00.

stopwheesht

When the wheesht resource is set to true this resource denotes the end time of a period during which Condor is disabled. When the wheesht resource is set to false this resource has no effect. The time should be expressed in the form of a whole number of minutes since the start of the day. For example, a desired stopwheesht time of 19:00 would mean a value for this resource of 1140 (that is, 19 multiplied by 60). The default value is 1020, meaning 17:00.
