Description
condor_cold_start installs and starts Condor on this machine, setting
up or using a predefined configuration. In addition, it has the
functionality to determine the local architecture if one is not
specified. Additionally, this program can install pre-made log,
execute, and/or spooldirectories by specifying the archived versions.
Options
-arch architecturestr
Use the given architecturestr to fetch the installation package. The
string is in the format:
<condor_version>-<machine_arch>-<os_name>-<os_version>
(for example 6.6.7-i686-Linux-2.4). The portion of this string
<condor_version>may be replaced with the string "latest" (for
example, latest-i686-Linux-2.4) to substitute the most recent
version of Condor.
-artifact filename
Use filename for name of the artifact file used to determine whether
the condor_master daemon is still alive.
-basedir directory
The directory to install or find the Condor executables and
libraries. When not specified, the current working directory is
assumed.
-execarchive archive
Create the Condor executedirectory from the given archive file.
-filelock
Specifies that this program should use a POSIX file lock midwife
program to create an artifact of the birth of a condor_master
daemon. A file lock undertaker can later be used to determine
whether the condor_master daemon has exited. This is the preferred
option when the user wants to check the status of the condor_master
daemon from another machine that shares a distributed file system
that supports POSIX file locking, for example, AFS.
-force
Overwrite previously installed files, if necessary.
-globuslocation directory
The location of the globus installation on this machine. When not
specified /opt/globusis the directory used. This option is only
necessary when other options of the form -*archive are specified.
-help
Display brief usage information and exit.
-localdir directory
The directory where the Condor log, spool, and executedirectories
will be installed. Each running instance of Condor must have its own
local directory.
-logarchive archive
Create the Condor log directory from the given archive file.
-pid
This program is to use a unique process id midwife program to create
an artifact of the birth of a condor_master daemon. A unique pid
undertaker can later be used to determine whether the condor_master
daemon has exited. This is the default option and the preferred
method to check the status of the condor_master daemon from the same
machine it was started on.
-runlocalconfig file
A special local configuration file bound into the Condor
configuration at runtime. This file only affects the instance of
Condor started by this command. No other Condor instance sharing the
same global configuration file will be affected.
-runonly
Run Condor from the specified installation directory without
installing it. It is possible to run several instantiations of
Condor from a single installation.
-setuponly
Install Condor without running it.
-site repository
The ftp, http, gsiftp, or mounted file system directory where the
installation packages can be found (for example,
www.cs.example.edu/packages/coldstart).
-spoolarchive archive
Create the Condor spool directory from the given archive file.
-wget
Use wget to fetch the log, spool, and executedirectories, if other
options of the form -*archive are specified. wget must be installed
on the machine and in the user’s path.
-configfile file
A required option to specify the Condor configuration file to use
for this installation. This file can be located on an http, ftp, or
gsiftp site, or alternatively on a mounted file system.
Exit Status
condor_cold_start will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon
success, and non-zero otherwise.
Examples
To start a Condor installation on the current machine, using
http://www.example.com/Condor/deploymentas the installation site:
% condor_cold_start .br
-configfile
http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment/condor_config.mobile .br
-site http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment
Optionally if this instance of Condor requires a local configuration
file condor_config.local:
% condor_cold_start .br
-configfile
http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment/condor_config.mobile .br
-site http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment .br
-runlocalconfig condor_config.local
