    .SH "DESCRIPTION"
    \fBslurmd\fR is the compute node daemon of Slurm. It monitors all tasks
    running on the compute node , accepts work (tasks), launches tasks, and kills
    running tasks upon request.
    .TP
    OPTIONS
    .TP
    \fB\-b\fR
    Report node rebooted when daemon restarted. Used for testing purposes.

    .TP
    \fB\-c\fR
    Clear system locks as needed. This may be required if \fBslurmd\fR terminated
    abnormally.

    .TP
    \fB\-C\fR
    Print actual hardware configuration and exit. The format of output is the same
    as used in \fBslurm.conf\fR to describe a node's configuration plus its uptime.

    .TP
    \fB\--conf-server <host>[:<port>]\fR
    Specify the host and (optionally) port number of the primary slurmctld. This
    host is where slurmd will fetch the configuration from when running in
    "configless" mode.

    .TP
    \fB\-d <file>\fR
    Specify the fully qualified pathname to the \fBslurmstepd\fR program to be used
    for shepherding user job steps. This can be useful for testing purposes.
    .TP
    \fB\-D\fR
    Run slurmd in the foreground. Error and debug messages will be copied to stderr.
    .TP
    \fB\-f <file>\fR
    Read configuration from the specified file. See \fBNOTES\fR below.
    .TP
    \fB\-G\fR
    Print Generic RESource (GRES) configuration (based upon slurm.conf GRES merged
    with gres.conf contents for this node) and exit.
    .TP
    \fB\-h\fR
    Help; print a brief summary of command options.
    .TP
    \fB\-L <file>\fR
    Write log messages to the specified file.
    .TP
    \fB\-M\fR
    Lock slurmd pages into system memory using mlockall (2) to disable
    paging of the slurmd process. This may help in cases where nodes are
    marked DOWN during periods of heavy swap activity. If the mlockall (2)
    with more than one slurmd daemon per node. Requires that Slurm be built using
    the \-\-enable\-multiple\-slurmd configure option.

    .TP
    \fB\-v\fR
    Verbose operation. Multiple \-v's increase verbosity.
    .TP
    \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
    Print version information and exit.

    .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
    The following environment variables can be used to override settings
    compiled into slurmd.
    .TP 20
    \fBSLURM_CONF\fR
    The location of the Slurm configuration file.  This is overridden by
    explicitly naming a configuration file on the command line.

    .SH "SIGNALS"
    .TP
    \fBSIGTERM SIGINT\fR
    \fBslurmd\fR will shutdown cleanly, waiting for in-progress rollups to finish.
    .TP
    \fBSIGHUP\fR
    Reloads the slurm configuration files, similar to 'scontrol reconfigure'.
    .TP
    \fBSIGUSR2\fR
    Reread the log level from the configs, and then reopen the log file.  This
    should be used when setting up \fBlogrotate\fR(8).
    .TP
    \fBSIGPIPE\fR
    This signal is explicitly ignored.

    .SH "CORE FILE LOCATION"
    If slurmd is started with the \fB\-D\fR option then the core file will be
    written to the current working directory.
    Otherwise if \fBSlurmdLogFile\fR is a fully qualified path name
    (starting with a slash), the core file will be written to the same
    directory as the log file.  Otherwise the core file will be written to
    the \fBSlurmSpoolDir\fR directory, or "/var/tmp/" as a last resort. If
    none of the above directories can be written, no core file will be
    produced.

    .SH "NOTES"
    It may be useful to experiment with different \fBslurmd\fR specific
    configuration parameters using a distinct configuration file
    (e.g. timeouts).  However, this special configuration file will not be
    used by the \fBslurmctld\fR daemon or the Slurm programs, unless you
    specifically tell each of them to use it. If you desire changing
    communication ports, the location of the temporary file system, or
    other parameters used by other Slurm components, change the common
    configuration file, \fBslurm.conf\fR.
