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

This is true only if you are running HTCondor 8.8 or earlier.   HTCondor 9.0 can detect

that it is a condor_daemon with a non-default name and you do not need to change DC_DAEMON_LIST

for HTCondor 9.0 and later.

Hi Thomas:

DAEMON_LIST is the list of daemons the master should spawn.  The master
knows that condor daemons are special -- they send keepalive heartbeats,
they have well-known command line arguments, etc.  DC_DAEMON_LIST is the
list of condor-special daemons.  It is very rare to change this list. 
If you are adding some non-condor program for the master to manage, you
probably just want to set DAEMON_LIST.  If you are starting a
condor_daemon with a non-default name, you need to also add it to
DC_DAEMON_LIST.
