**dmrun \[***dmrun options***\] \[***program name***\] \[***program options***\]**

  specifies the extra resource (configuration file) to load.

- **-d\|--debug**

  Debug the output.

- **-g\|--gdb**

  Try to run gdb on the executing command.

- **-f \[***machine list***\]**

  Specifies the machine list file. The file is a list of hostnames of hosts to run  the program.

- **program name**

  The name of the program to start up.

- **program options**

  The options to give to the program

## FILES

- **${HOME}/.dmrc**

  The dmachinemon booter configuration file, sourced by the script. Needs to be in bash-compatible format. Possible variables are  **DMACHINELIST,  CLIENTPORT,  NODEPORT.**

- **${DMACHINELIST}**

  The file dmboot uses to get the  list of machines to start up the process. This list cannot list the master node.
