The GRAM gatekeeper distributes jobs submitted to the resource by
end-users. There is one gatekeeper per resource. This gatekeeper
supports multiple `back-ends' or job-managers; the available job
managers are listed in the etc/globus-services file and
published in the GRIS.
Typically at least a fork job-manager is available. This will directly execute the job on the machine running the gatekeeper. Other possible job-managers include Condor, LoadLeveler, and NQE. At NIKHEF, only `fork' job managers are currently installed.
The GRAM gatekeeper will log to var/globus-gatekeeper.log and
will also write user contact information to syslog with facility
daemon. All syslog entries start with the literal
`GRAM gatekeeper' and include the current gatekeeper PID.
