💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet cmsd — the Cluster Management Services daemon. she's the one running the whole cluster situation. no cap. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cmsd [options] -c configfile

that's it, that's the whole vibe: you hand her some options, you hand her a config file with -c, and she goes to work. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, the cmsd daemon is the girl who provides cluster services to xrootd data servers. she's not doing the data thing herself, she's the one keeping everyone coordinated. main character energy fr fr. 💅

wanna see the usage synopsis? just type:

cmsd -h

and the complete HTML documentation lives right here, lowkey iconic:

🎀 NOTES 🎀

btw, documentation for all the components that hang out with cmsd can be found at:

https://xrootd.org/docs.html

go read it, i'm literally begging. 💜

🦋 DIAGNOSTICS 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it's important:

  • if your configuration has errors, you get an error message and a non-zero exit status. 💀
  • the program never exits upon success — she's a daemon, she's committed, she does not leave the party. 🌈

so how do you actually stop her? bestie, you gotta be a little assertive:

  • use the kill command, or
  • run "/etc/init.d/cmsd stop"
not me having to remind you that you gotta actually kill the process. she's not gonna ghost you on her own. 🙈

💅 LICENSE 💅

want the license terms? no problem, just type:

cmsd -H

boom, license, displayed, slay. ✨
