The dmake.conf file is a build server configuration file. To use a server as a dmake build server, you must set up a dmake.conf file in the directory /etc/opt/SPROdmake. If the /etc/opt/SPROdmake/dmake.conf file does not exist on a particular build server, you will not be able to run distributed build jobs on that server.

Use the dmake.conf file to specify the following:

• Required: The maximum total number of dmake jobs (from all users) that can run concurrently on that build server
• Optional: The /usr/bin/nice priority under which all dmake jobs are to be run

The following is an example of a dmake.conf file:

max_jobs: 8

nice_prio: 5

This example sets the maximum number of dmake jobs permitted to run on that build server (from all dmake users) to be eight (8). See the dmake man page for more information.

You can change the priority of the jobs to be run by using the nice_prio command (see the nice man page for more information about setting a priority).
