Hi Rajat,

Your attempt to post to htcondor-users was blocked because attachments 
are limited to 200KB in size.  Instead of attaching hi-res screen shots 
of log files, in the future please just cut-and-paste the log file 
contents as ascii.

But to answer your question, I think the error message above is because 
MASTER does not appear in your DAEMON_LIST entry in your condor_config 
file(s). On your execute node (slave node), what does "condor_config_val 
daemon_list" report?  Typically for an execute node you will want it to be
  DAEMON_LIST = MASTER STARTD
which tells HTCondor it should run both the condor_master and 
condor_startd service.

Hope the above helps
Todd
