Setting Service Priorities

As of VDT 2.0.0p27 the Globus Gatekeeper will be started at a lower priority by default (nice level 19). For more information on why we made this change see the discussion in this ticket.

To adjust the priority of this service, or to change other services follow the instructions below.

Changing the Globus-Gatekeeper priority

If you would like to change the Globus Gatekeeper priority to N (where N is an integer representing the nice level) you can use the following command:

$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/setup/configure_globus_gatekeeper --service-priority N --server y

After changing the priority, if the service is running restart it using vdt-control.

Changing services priority

To change any service in the VDT, you can edit the file at $VDT_LOCATION/vdt/services/nice.conf. The instructions at the top of the file will indicate the format.

After changing the priority, if the service is running restart it using vdt-control.
