## NAME

globus-gatekeeper-admin - Manage globus-gatekeeper services

## SYNOPSIS

**globus-gatekeeper-admin** \[-h\]

**globus-gatekeeper-admin** -l \[-n *NAME*\]

**globus-gatekeeper-admin** -E

## DESCRIPTION

The **globus-gatekeeper-admin** program manages service entries which are used by the **globus-gatekeeper** to execute services. Service entries are located in the /etc/grid-services directory. The **globus-gatekeeper-admin** can list, enable, or disable specific services, or set a service as the default. The *-h* command-line option shows a brief usage message.

The **-l** command-line option to **globus-gatekeeper-admin** will cause it to list all of the services which are available to be run by the **globus-gatekeeper**. In the output, the service name will be followed by its status in brackets. Possible status strings are **ENABLED**, **DISABLED**, and **ALIAS to** *NAME*, where *NAME* is another service name.

If the **-n** *NAME* is used, then only information about the service named *NAME* is printed.

The **-e** *SERVICE* command-line option to **globus-gatekeeper-admin** will cause it to enable a service so that it may be run by the **globus-gatekeeper**.

If the **-n** *NAME* option is used as well, then the service will be enabled with the alias *NAME*.

The **-E** command-line option to **globus-gatekeeper-admin** will cause it to enable a service alias with the name jobmanager. The **globus-gatekeeper-admin** program will choose the first service it finds as the default. To enable a particular service as the default, use the **-e** parameter described above with the **-n** parameter.

The **-d** *SERVICE* command-line option to **globus-gatekeeper-admin** will cause it to disable a service so that it may not be run by the **globus-gatekeeper**. All aliases to a disabled service are also disabled.
