     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.
