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

[Rob de Graaf <r.degraaf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steffen,

The START parameter in local configuration does not control daemon startup, it only affects startd behavior. Setting it to false means the startd will never start any job (there should be no condor_exec processes). If you want to prevent the startd daemon from running at all, but you still want the master up, you could set DAEMON_LIST = MASTER in local configuration. If you want to stop all condor daemons from running, it is simpler to use whatever flavor of init your system has. At least on Debian, there is no startup switch in /etc/default/condor either.

Regards,

Rob
