GRID-REGISTER(1) GRID-REGISTER(1)
NAME
grid: register - registers a resource with a known
registry(4)
SYNOPSIS
grid/register [ option ... ] { command ... }
DESCRIPTION
Register takes a program which serves a Styx (see intro(5))
namespace on stdin and registers it with a known
registry(4). It then marshals the service by listening for
incoming connections and exporting the namespace across
them. Register prints out various status messages to stdout
in the form which may be read by grid-monitor(1).
OPTIONS
-u maxusers Specifies the maximum number of connections
to the resource at any one time. If not
given, any number of connections are
allowed.
-e n Tells register to exit after the last con-
nection has gone away. N is a threshold
value, so that register will not exit upon
the last connection going away until the
number of incoming connections has reached
at least n.
-a 'name=value' Specifies the name and value of an
attribute to be listed as belonging to the
resource when registered with the
registry(4).
-A address Allows the user to specify the address for
the service to announce on. Address takes
the form tcp!machine!port
-m Includes the amount of free main memory as
part of the attributes list.
