    NAME
         sge_qmaster - Grid Engine master control daemon

    SYNOPSIS
         sge_qmaster [ -help ]

    DESCRIPTION
         sge_qmaster controls the overall Grid Engine behavior  in  a
         cluster.  For  the  purpose  of  scheduling jobs sge_qmaster
         cooperates with sge_schedd(8).

    OPTIONS
         -help
              Prints  a listing of all options.

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

         SGE_CELL       If set, specifies  the  default  Grid  Engine
                        cell.   To   address   a   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 Grid
         Engine Installation and Administration Guide for more infor-
         mation  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.
