    NAME
         sge_qmaster - Sun Grid Engine master control daemon

    SYNOPSIS
         sge_qmaster [ -help ]

    DESCRIPTION
         sge_qmaster controls the overall Sun Grid Engine behavior in
         a cluster.

    OPTIONS
         -help
              Prints  a listing of all options.

    ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
         SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Sun Grid Engine
                        standard configuration files.

         SGE_CELL       If set, specifies the default Sun Grid Engine
                        cell.  To  address  a  Sun  Grid  Engine cell
                        sge_qmaster  uses  (in  the  order  of   pre-
                        cedence):

                             The name of the cell  specified  in  the
                             environment  variable SGE_CELL, if it is
                             set.

                             The  name  of  the  default  cell,  i.e.
                             default.

         SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                        If  set,  specifies  that  debug  information
                        should  be written to stderr. In addition the
                        level of detail in which debug information is
                        generated is defined.

         SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                        If set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on  which
                        sge_qmaster(8) is expected to listen for com-
                        munication requests.  Most installations will
                        use  a  services  map  entry  for the service
                        "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.

         SGE_EXECD_PORT If set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on  which
                        sge_execd(8)  is  expected to listen for com-
                        munication requests.  Most installations will
                        use  a  services  map  entry  for the service
                        "sge_execd" instead to define that port.

    RESTRICTIONS
         sge_qmaster is usually started from root on  the  master  or
         shadow master machines of the cluster (refer to the Sun Grid
         Engine Installation and Administration for more  information
         about the configuration of shadow master hosts).  If started
         by a normal user, a master spool directory must be  used  to
         which the user has read/write access. In this case only jobs
         being submitted by that same user are handled  correctly  by
         the system.
