condor_config_val

Query or set a given condor configuration variable

Synopsis

condor_config_val [options] variable [variable ... ]

condor_config_val [options] -set variable value [variable value ... ]

condor_config_val [options] -rset variable value [variable value ... ]

condor_config_val [options] -unset variable value [variable value ... ]

condor_config_val [options] -runset variable value [variable value ... ]

condor_config_val [options] -tilde

condor_config_val [options] -owner

Description

condor_config_val can be used to quickly see what the current condor configuration is on any given machine. Given a list of variables, condor_config_val will report what each of these variables is currently set to. If a given variable is not defined, condor_config_val will halt on that variable, and report that it is not defined. By default, condor_config_val looks in the local machine's configuration files in order to evaluate the variables.

condor_config_val can also be used to quickly set configuration variables for a specific daemon on a given machine. Each daemon remembers settings made by condor_config_val. The configuration file is not modified by this command. Persistent settings remain when the daemon is restarted. Runtime settings are lost when the daemon is restarted. NOTE: The changes will not take effect until you perform a condor_reconfig.
