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.
