+h2. Booting nodes for testing
+
+When testing a compute node image or configuration, it may be useful to run a dedicated node manager process to manage the lifecycle of a single node.  This can run alongside the primary node manager of a cluster in an interactive shell; when an interrupt signal is received, any nodes created by this process will be immediately shut down.
+
+<pre>
+$ arvados-node-manager --foreground --config test-config.ini
+</pre>
+
+The relevant configuration options that enable test mode behavior are @destroy_on_shutdown@, @wishlist@, @hostnames@, @jobs_queue@ and @slurm_queue at .  The rest of the configuration should correspond to the primary node manager or the settings under test (such as a new compute node image.)
