HTCondor Manual Display information about owners of jobs and jobs running on an execute machine

## NAME

condor\_who - HTCondor Manual

Display information about owners of jobs and jobs running on an execute machine

## SYNOPSIS

**condor\_who** \[*help options* \] \[*address options* \] \[*display* *options* \]

## DESCRIPTION

*condor\_who* queries and displays information about the user that owns the jobs running on a machine. It is intended to be run on an execute machine.

The options that may be supplied to *condor\_who* belong to three groups:

- •

  **Help options** provide information about the *condor\_who* tool.

- •

  **Address options** allow destination specification for query.

- •

  **Display options** control the formatting and which of the queried information to display.

At any time, only one **help option** and one **address option** may be specified. Any number of **display options** may be specified.

*condor\_who* obtains its information about jobs by talking to one or more *condor\_startd* daemons. So, *condor\_who* must identify the command port of any *condor\_startd* daemons. An **address option** provides this information. If no **address option** is given on the command line, then *condor\_who* searches using this ordering:

- 1\.

  A defined value of the environment variable **CONDOR\_CONFIG** specifies the directory where log and address files are to be scanned for needed information.

- 2\.

  With the aim of finding all *condor\_startd* daemons, *condor\_who* utilizes the same algorithm it would using the **-allpids** option. The Linux *ps* or the Windows *tasklist* program obtains all PIDs. As Linux root or Windows administrator, the Linux *lsof* or the Windows *netstat* identifies open sockets and from there the PIDs of listen sockets. Correlating the two lists of PIDs results in identifying the command ports of all *condor\_startd* daemons.

## OPTIONS

- **-help**

  (help option) Display usage information

- **-daemons**

  (help option) Display information about the daemons running on the specified machine, including the daemon's PID, IP address and command port

- **-diagnostic**

  (help option) Display extra information helpful for debugging

- **-verbose**

  (help option) Display PIDs and addresses of daemons

- **-address** *hostaddress*

  (address option) Identify the *condor\_startd* host address to query

- **-allpids**

  (address option) Query all local *condor\_startd* daemons

- **-logdir** *directoryname*

  (address option) Specifies the directory containing log and address files that *condor\_who* will scan to search for command ports of *condor\_start* daemons to query

- **-pid** *PID*

  (address option) Use the given *PID* to identify the *condor\_startd* daemon to query

- **-long**

  (display option) Display entire ClassAds

- **-wide**

  (display option) Displays fields without truncating them in order to fit screen width

- **-format** *fmt attr*

  (display option) Display attribute *attr* in format *fmt*. To display the attribute or expression the format must contain a single **[printf(3)](/printf/3.md)**-style conversion specifier. Attributes must be from the resource ClassAd. Expressions are ClassAd expressions and may refer to attributes in the resource ClassAd. If the attribute is not present in a given ClassAd and cannot be parsed as an expression, then the format option will be silently skipped. %r prints the unevaluated, or raw values. The conversion specifier must match the type of the attribute or expression. %s is suitable for strings such as **Name**, %d for integers such as **LastHeardFrom**, and %f for floating point numbers such as *LoadAvg*. %v identifies the type of the attribute, and then prints the value in an appropriate format. %V identifies the type of the attribute, and then prints the value in an appropriate format as it would appear in the **-long** format. As an example, strings used with %V will have quote marks. An incorrect format will result in undefined behavior. Do not use more than one conversion specifier in a given format. More than one conversion specifier will result in undefined behavior. To output multiple attributes repeat the **-format** option once for each desired attribute. Like **[printf(3)](/printf/3.md)**-style formats, one may include other text that will be reproduced directly. A format without any conversion specifiers may be specified, but an attribute is still required. Include a backslash followed by an 'n' to specify a line break.

- **-autoformat\[:lhVr,tng\]** *attr1 \[attr2 ...\]* or **-af\[:lhVr,tng\]** *attr1 \[attr2 ...\]*

  (display option) Display attribute(s) or expression(s) formatted in a default way according to attribute types. This option takes an arbitrary number of attribute names as arguments, and prints out their values, with a space between each value and a newline character after the last value. It is like the **-format** option without format strings.

  It is assumed that no attribute names begin with a dash character, so that the next word that begins with dash is the start of the next option. The **autoformat** option may be followed by a colon character and formatting qualifiers to deviate the output formatting from the default:

  **l** label each field,

  **h** print column headings before the first line of output,

  **V** use %V rather than %v for formatting (string values are quoted),

  **r** print "raw", or unevaluated values,

  **,** add a comma character after each field,

  **t** add a tab character before each field instead of the default space character,

  **n** add a newline character after each field,

  **g** add a newline character between ClassAds, and suppress spaces before each field.

  Use **-af:h** to get tabular values with headings.

  Use **-af:lrng** to get -long equivalent format.

  The newline and comma characters may not be used together. The **l** and **h** characters may not be used together.

## EXAMPLES

Example 1 Sample output from the local machine, which is running a single HTCondor job. Note that the output of the **PROGRAM** field will be truncated to fit the display, similar to the artificial truncation shown in this example output.

```
$ condor_who

```

Example 2 Verbose sample output.
