ParaStation5 Administrator's Guide
SelectTime
time
Set the timeout of the central select(2) of the ParaStation daemon psid(8) to
time
seconds.
The default value is 2 seconds.
This parameter can be set during runtime via the set
selecttime
directive
within the ParaStation administration and management tool psiadmin(1).
DeadInterval
num
The ParaStation daemon psid(8) will declare other daemons as dead after
num
consecutively missing
multicast pings.
After declaring a node as dead, all processes residing on this node are also declared dead. This results
in sending signals to all processes on the local node that have requested to get informed about the
death of one of these processes.
The default value is 10.
For now, the multicast period is set to two seconds, i.e. every daemon sends a multicast ping every
two seconds. This results in declaring a daemon as dead after 20 seconds for the default value.
LogLevel
num
Set the debugging level of the ParaStation daemon psid(8) to
num
.
For values of
level
larger than
10
the daemon logs a huge amount of message
in the logging destination, which is usually the syslog(3).
This parameter can be set during runtime via the set
psiddebug
directive within
the ParaStation administration and management tool psiadmin(1).
LogDest { LOG_DAEMON | LOG_KERN | LOG_LOCAL[0-7] }
LogDestination { LOG_DAEMON | LOG_KERN | LOG_LOCAL[0-7] }
Set the logging output's destination for the ParaStation daemon psid(8). Usually the daemon prints
logging output using the syslog(3) mechanism, unless an alternative logging file is requested via
psid(8)'s
-l
option.
In order to collect all the ParaStation specific log messages into a special file, the
facility
argument
of the openlog(3) function call in cooperation with a suitable setup of the syslogd(8) may be used. This
parameter will set the argument to one of the mentioned values.
The default value is LOG_DAEMON.
MCastGroup
group-num
Tell psid(8) to use the multicast group
group-num
for multicast communication to other daemons.
The default group to use is
237
MCastPort
portno
Tell psid(8) to use the UDP port
portno
for multicast communication to other daemons.
The default port to use is
1889
RDPPort
portno
Tell psid(8) to use the UDP port
portno
for the RDP communication protocol to other daemons.
