condor_preen examines the directories belonging to Condor, and removes extraneous files and directories which may be left over from Condor processes which terminated abnormally either due to internal errors or a system crash. The directories checked are the LOG, EXECUTE, and SPOOL directories as defined in the Condor configuration files. condor_preen is intended to be run as user root (or user condor) periodically as a backup method to ensure reasonable file system cleanliness in the face of errors. This is done automatically by default by the condor_master. It may also be explicitly invoked on an as needed basis.
