poo = $(collector) poo_args = -p 9618 daemon_list = master, poo, schedd, negotiator, startd dc_daemon_list = MASTER, POO, SCHEDD, NEGOTIATOR, STARTD condor_on/off -collector does not work because the MASTER cannot find the COLLECTOR, because it is named POO Also, the contents of the DC_DAEMON_LIST parameter is *case-sensitive* and not to the case of the parameter that defines the daemon's location, just must be uppercase. Two gotchas waiting to happen.
