configure_globus_gatekeeper

configure_globus_gatekeeper - Configuration script for the Globus Gatekeeper

Synopsis

    configure_globus_gatekeeper --server <y,n>
                                --managed-fork <y,n>
                                --vdt-install <VDT installation root>

Description

--server <y,n>
For y, prepare the gatekeeper to be installed and enabled by vdt-control. For n, describe the gatekeeper for use by vdt-control, but do not enable. This parameter is required.
--managed-fork <y,n>
If this parameter is y, then used managed fork instead of the default fork job manager. If this parameter is n, then used the standard fork. The default is n.
--vdt-install <VDT installation root>
configure_globus_gatekeeper will look for the root of the VDT installation at $VDT_LOCATION. If you do not have that set you can specify it with --vdt-install instead.
--help, --usage

The following actions are performed to set up the gatekeeper:

setup-globus-gatekeeper is run
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is passed to the jobmanager
Jobmanager accounting is turned on
globus-gatekeeper:2119 is added to /etc/services
The gatekeeper is added to the inetd/xinetd configuration
