The Icecream daemon has to run on all nodes being part of the
Icecream compile cluster. It receives compile jobs and executes them in a
chroot environment. The compile clients send their compile environment the
first time they send a job to a particular daemon, so that the environment
of the daemon does not have to match the one of the client.
The daemon also has to run on clients sending compile jobs to the
Icecream network. If a node should be able to send compile jobs, but never
receive any, start the daemon with the option -m 0.
All Icecream daemons need to have contact to the Icecream
scheduler which controls the distribution of data between compile nodes.
Normally the daemon will automatically find the right scheduler. If this is
not the case you can explicitly specify the name of the Icecream network and
the host running the scheduler.
- -b, --env-basedir
env-basedir
- Base directory for storing compile environments sent to the daemon by the
compile clients.
- --cache-limit
MB
- Maximum size in Mega Bytes of cache used to store compile environments of
compile clients.
- -d,
--daemonize
- Detach daemon from shell.
- -h, --help
- Print help message and exit.
- -l, --log-file
log-file
- Name of file where log output is written to.
- -m, --max-processes
max-processes
- Maximum number of compile jobs started in parallel on machine running the
daemon.
- -N hostname
- The name of the icecream host on the network.
- -n, --name,
--netname net-name
- The name of the icecream network the daemon should connect to. There has
to be a scheduler running for the network under the same network
name.
- --nice level
- The level of niceness to use. Default is 5.
- --no-remote
- Prevents jobs from other nodes being scheduled on this one.
- -s, --scheduler-host
scheduler-host
- Name of host running the scheduler for the network the daemon should
connect to. This option might help if the scheduler cannot broadcast its
presence to the clients due to firewall settings or similar reasons, when
this is enabled scheduler should use --persistent-client-connection.
- -u, --user-uid
user
- Specify the system user used by the daemon, which must be different than
‘root’. If not specified, the daemon defaults to the
‘icecc’ system user if available, or ‘nobody’
if not.
- -v, -vv,
-vvv
- Control verbosity of daemon. The more v the more verbose.
