Hi all, I want to start and stop tasktrackers one at a time without using the start-mapred script which also starts the jobtracker. I have tried to do "$HADOOP_CORE_HOME"/bin/hadoop-daemons.sh --config $HADOOP_CONF_DIR --script "$bin"/mapred start tasktracker but the tasktracker starts on the same node as the jobtracker which is not exactly what I want. I expected it to get information about where to start the task tracker from the slaves file. I have also tried to run this on the node where I want the tasktracker to start but it did not work either. Any pointers how to get this running? Thanks Iman
