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
spool directories by specifying the archived versions.
- -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 execute directory 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/globus is 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 execute directories
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 execute directories,
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.
condor_ cold_start will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon
success, and non-zero otherwise.
To start a Condor installation on the current machine, using
http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment as the installation
site:
% condor_cold_start \
-configfile http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment/condor_config.mobile \
-site http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment
Optionally if this instance of Condor requires a local configuration
file condor_config.local:
% condor_cold_start \
-configfile http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment/condor_config.mobile \
-site http://www.example.com/Condor/deployment \
-runlocalconfig condor_config.local
