Name

condor_preen remove extraneous files from Condor directories

Synopsis

condor_preen [ -mail ] [ -remove ] [ -verbose ]

Description

condor_preen examines the directories belonging to Condor, and removes extraneous files and directories which may be left over from Condor processes which terminated abnormally either due to internal errors or a system crash. The directories checked are the LOG, EXECUTE, and SPOOLdirectories as defined in the Condor configuration files. condor_preen is intended to be run as user rootor user condorperiodically as a backup method to ensure reasonable file system cleanliness in the face of errors. This is done automatically by default by the condor_master daemon. It may also be explicitly invoked on an as needed basis. When condor_preen cleans the SPOOLdirectory, it always leaves behind the files specified in the configuration variable VALID_SPOOL_FILESas given by the configuration. For the LOGdirectory, the only files removed or reported are those listed within the configuration variable INVALID_LOG_FILESlist. The reason for this difference is that, in general, the files in the LOGdirectory ought to be left alone, with few exceptions. An example of exceptions are core files. As there are new log files introduced regularly, it is less effort to specify those that ought to be removed than those that are not to be removed.

Options

-mail
Send mail to the user defined in the PREEN_ADMINconfiguration variable, instead of writing to the standard output.
-remove
Remove the offending files and directories rather than reporting on them.
-verbose
List all files found in the Condor directories, even those which are not considered extraneous.

Exit Status

condor_preen will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
