NAME
     sge_qmaster - Sun Grid Engine master control daemon

SYNOPSIS
     sge_qmaster [ -help ]

DESCRIPTION
     sge_qmaster controls the overall Sun Grid Engine behavior in
     a cluster.

OPTIONS
     -help
          Prints  a listing of all options.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
     SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Sun Grid Engine
                    standard configuration files.

     SGE_CELL       If set, specifies the default Sun Grid Engine
                    cell.  To  address  a  Sun  Grid  Engine cell
                    sge_qmaster  uses  (in  the  order  of   pre-
                    cedence):

                         The name of the cell  specified  in  the
                         environment  variable SGE_CELL, if it is
                         set.

                         The  name  of  the  default  cell,  i.e.
                         default.


     SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                    If  set,  specifies  that  debug  information
                    should  be written to stderr. In addition the
                    level of detail in which debug information is
                    generated is defined.

     SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                    If set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on  which
                    sge_qmaster(8) is expected to listen for com-
                    munication requests.  Most installations will
                    use  a  services  map  entry  for the service
                    "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.

     SGE_EXECD_PORT If set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on  which
                    sge_execd(8)  is  expected to listen for com-
                    munication requests.  Most installations will
                    use  a  services  map  entry  for the service
                    "sge_execd" instead to define that port.

RESTRICTIONS
     sge_qmaster is usually started from root on  the  master  or
     shadow master machines of the cluster (refer to the Sun Grid
     Engine Installation and Administration for more  information
     about the configuration of shadow master hosts).  If started
     by a normal user, a master spool directory must be  used  to
     which the user has read/write access. In this case only jobs
     being submitted by that same user are handled  correctly  by
     the system.
