Re: [HTCondor-users] daemon foreground spawning with Condor >=8.9

Yes.  DC_DAEMON_LIST is obsolete,  you should never touch it.  

It does NOT control what daemons are running.   it controls how a condor_master

starts and talks to a daemon that it doesn't think is one of the daemons that is

included in the HTCondor installer.

For the curious,  Once apon a time, DC_DAEMON_LIST was something you had to set 

if you wanted to start up a second copy of a HTCondor daemon under a single condor_master

and you wanted the condor_master to know that it was really a standard HTCondor daemon. 

(i.e. it accepted the same command line arguments and signals as other HTCondor daemons)

But it is no longer necessary change DC_DAEMON_LIST when you do this, so this knob

is basically obsolete.

Hi all,

is there a difference between
   DAEMON_LIST
and
   DC_DAEMON_LIST
from 8.9.7 (including 9.0+) onwards?

If I get it correctly, the DC list should spawn its daemons into the
foreground using the -f flag and with 8.9.7 this became the default
behaviour. I would interpret it, that daemons started from one or the
other list should behave the same, or?

Cheers,
