.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBslurmd\fR is the compute node daemon of Slurm. It monitors all tasks
running on the compute node , accepts work (tasks), launches tasks, and kills
running tasks upon request.
.TP
OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-b\fR
Report node rebooted when daemon restarted. Used for testing purposes.

.TP
\fB\-c\fR
Clear system locks as needed. This may be required if \fBslurmd\fR terminated
abnormally.

.TP
\fB\-C\fR
Print actual hardware configuration and exit. The format of output is the same
as used in \fBslurm.conf\fR to describe a node's configuration plus its uptime.

.TP
\fB\--conf-server <host>[:<port>]\fR
Specify the host and (optionally) port number of the primary slurmctld. This
host is where slurmd will fetch the configuration from when running in
"configless" mode.

.TP
\fB\-d <file>\fR
Specify the fully qualified pathname to the \fBslurmstepd\fR program to be used
for shepherding user job steps. This can be useful for testing purposes.
.TP
\fB\-D\fR
Run slurmd in the foreground. Error and debug messages will be copied to stderr.
.TP
\fB\-f <file>\fR
Read configuration from the specified file. See \fBNOTES\fR below.
.TP
\fB\-G\fR
Print Generic RESource (GRES) configuration (based upon slurm.conf GRES merged
with gres.conf contents for this node) and exit.
.TP
\fB\-h\fR
Help; print a brief summary of command options.
.TP
\fB\-L <file>\fR
Write log messages to the specified file.
.TP
\fB\-M\fR
Lock slurmd pages into system memory using mlockall (2) to disable
paging of the slurmd process. This may help in cases where nodes are
marked DOWN during periods of heavy swap activity. If the mlockall (2)
with more than one slurmd daemon per node. Requires that Slurm be built using
the \-\-enable\-multiple\-slurmd configure option.

.TP
\fB\-v\fR
Verbose operation. Multiple \-v's increase verbosity.
.TP
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print version information and exit.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
The following environment variables can be used to override settings
compiled into slurmd.
.TP 20
\fBSLURM_CONF\fR
The location of the Slurm configuration file.  This is overridden by
explicitly naming a configuration file on the command line.

.SH "SIGNALS"
.TP
\fBSIGTERM SIGINT\fR
\fBslurmd\fR will shutdown cleanly, waiting for in-progress rollups to finish.
.TP
\fBSIGHUP\fR
.RS
Reloads the slurm configuration files, similar to 'scontrol reconfigure'.
.RE
.TP
\fBSIGUSR2\fR
Reread the log level from the configs, and then reopen the log file.  This
should be used when setting up \fBlogrotate\fR(8).
.TP
\fBSIGPIPE\fR
This signal is explicitly ignored.

.SH "CORE FILE LOCATION"
If slurmd is started with the \fB\-D\fR option then the core file will be
written to the current working directory.
Otherwise if \fBSlurmdLogFile\fR is a fully qualified path name
(starting with a slash), the core file will be written to the same
directory as the log file.  Otherwise the core file will be written to
the \fBSlurmSpoolDir\fR directory, or "/var/tmp/" as a last resort. If
none of the above directories can be written, no core file will be
produced.

.SH "NOTES"
It may be useful to experiment with different \fBslurmd\fR specific
configuration parameters using a distinct configuration file
(e.g. timeouts).  However, this special configuration file will not be
used by the \fBslurmctld\fR daemon or the Slurm programs, unless you
specifically tell each of them to use it. If you desire changing
communication ports, the location of the temporary file system, or
