Re: [Condor-users] Condor 7.7.5 not obeying local configuration?

[Thomas Luff <Thomas.Luff@xxxxxxx>]

START is a way to specify restriction on what jobs this node should run.

If you are looking to not start the STARTD daemon on Condor startup then you have to remove it from the DAEMON_LIST in your config file.

Although it sounds like you don't want any of the condor system running on startup? In this case you need to find out how condor is being automatically started by your system. This is likely to be a SysV init script in the /etc/init.d directory with symlinks in to the /etc/rc*.d directories.

To check run `ls /etc/rc[0-6].d/*condor` and it will print out any condor startup or shutdown symlinks in the /etc/rc*.d directories.

Hope that helps

Tom

Subject: [Condor-users] Condor 7.7.5 not obeying local configuration?

I'm not sure whether this is a feature, a misunderstanding on my side, or
a Condor bug...

When freshly installing cluster nodes, I don't want Condor to start on
reboot - I'm still trying to fix some other setup issues, and users
shouldn't claim a machine that will probably go down again.

Since I have both LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE and LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR set, I tried
to use a file in /etc/condor/condor_config.d containing "START=False":

root@o201:/etc/condor/condor_config.d# cat zzzlocal
START = False

Consequently, when the node has started,

root@o201:/etc/condor/condor_config.d# condor_config_val START
False

Checking the config settings again:

root@o201:/etc/condor/condor_config.d# condor_config_val -dump | grep LOCAL_CONFIG
LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR = $(ETC)/condor_config.d
LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR_EXCLUDE_REGEXP = ^((\..*)|(.*~)|(#.*)|(.*\.dpkg-.*)|\.off)$
LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE = $(ETC)/condor_config.$(OPSYS).$(ARCH), $(TILDE)/etc/$(HOSTNAME).local, $(TILDE)/etc/$(HOSTNAME).local.forced
REQUIRE_LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE = False

but there is an active STARTD process:

root@o201:/etc/condor/condor_config.d# ps auxw | grep condor
condor    1901  0.0  0.2  91920  6016 ?        Ss   Mar27   0:10 /usr/sbin/condor_master -pidfile /var/run/condor/condor.pid
condor    1924  0.0  0.3  90940  7008 ?        Ss   Mar27   0:00 condor_startd -f
root      4017  0.0  0.0   7548   848 pts/0    S+   09:00   0:00 grep condor

Previously, I used ~condor/etc/* files (TILDE=/home/condor) - which worked -
but since the init script doesn't depend on $remote_fs I had to change this.

Can someone help me see what's causing the problem?

Thanks,
 Steffen
