[Condor-devel] How do I get D_ALWAYS messages to display?

["Ian Chesal" <ICHESAL@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This isn't exactly a low level devel question, but it's too much for the
general user list so I'm asking it here. Let me know if this isn't the
list for this kind of question.

I'm trying to debug a problem with condor_preen not cleaning up stale
execute directories. I noticed on the machines where I'm having these
problems I can't do:

condor_status -direct localhost

The localhost resolution fails. Looking at the code for condor_preen it
tries to contact the local startd to determine the state of the machine.
There are some helpful looking dprintf's in the get_machine_state()
function in preen.C. They all say dprintf(D_ALWAYS, "...").

I thought D_ALWAYS was always print so I killed the startd on my machine
and ran condor_preen -v and got no additional messages about it being
unable to contact the local startd. It just stopped examining and
outputting OK for every stale directory  the execute directory. 

I tried it with:

ALL_DEBUG = D_ALL
TOOL_DEBUG = True

In the local config file and nothing.

How can I get it to print those D_ALWAYS messages? I'm looking at 6.7.3
code and running 6.8.0 binaries so maybe those messages have gone away?
