nodes.properties

Specifies the nodes on the network to which commands will be executed. The ctl-exec. command as well as the nodedispatch strategy specified by the execute tag uses this file to look up node information and whether the command should be executed locally or remotely. See the Node Dispatch section for general info.

This configuration file is located within the "etc" directory of the depot (eg, $CTL_BASE/depots/<project>/etc/nodes.properties). See the project setup for guidelines on how to manage the file centrally.
