If the remote access type is UnixRsh, then Clustor assumes that no password is required for the host. Accordingly, no prompt is issued for the password at runtime. Specifying Local Execution Clustor Nodes can be specified as local. A Node in this mode executes jobs locally under the current user name. There is no need to specify username or password for the Node.
Local mode is useful for testing purposes.
Plan files can be tested without increased complexity of distributed execution. A complete set of load monitoring features is available under the local mode. This can be useful to execute jobs on the local computer, while observing interactive host usage. For example, job execution can be terminated when the host is used interactively and resumed when the host becomes idle. Local nodes are specified in file clustor.nodes with the string localhost as the host name.
