Description
condor_reconfig reconfigures all of the HTCondor daemons in accordance with the current status of the
HTCondor configuration file(s). Once reconfiguration is complete, the daemons will behave according to
the policies stated in the configuration file(s). The main exception is with the DAEMON_LIST variable,
which will only be updated if the condor_restart command is used. Other configuration variables that can
only be changed if the HTCondor daemons are restarted are listed in the HTCondor manual in the section on
configuration. In general, condor_reconfig should be used when making changes to the configuration files,
since it is faster and more efficient than restarting the daemons.
The command condor_reconfig with no arguments or with the -daemonmaster option will cause the
reconfiguration of the condor_master daemon and all the child processes of the condor_master.
For security reasons of authentication and authorization, this command requires ADMINISTRATOR level of
access.
Examples
To reconfigure the condor_master and all its children on the local host:
$ condor_reconfig
To reconfigure only the condor_startd on a named machine:
$ condor_reconfig -name bluejay -daemon startd
To reconfigure a machine within a pool other than the local pool, use the -pool option. The argument is
the name of the central manager for the pool. Note that one or more machines within the pool must be
specified as the targets for the command. This command reconfigures the single machine named cae17 within
the pool of machines that has condor.cae.wisc.edu as its central manager:
$ condor_reconfig -pool condor.cae.wisc.edu -name cae17
Exit Status
condor_reconfig will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1
(one) upon failure.
