Grid Status Test: How to Run

This test is designed to run "right out of the box." You can just download it and it should run with no problems.

Requirements

• Perl: You need perl on your system. Grid Status Test assumes that perl is located in /usr/bin/perl. If this is incorrect, you can change the first line of the script, or just invoke the script by passing it to perl (i.e. `perl ./grid-status-test`)
  
  
• Globus: This test was designed (using, and to test) Globus Toolkit version 2.x grid services. Most of our testing was done with systems running GT 2.2.4 and 2.4.3. The specific Globus commands you need in your path locally are:
  • globusrun
  • gsissh
  • globus-url-copy
  • grid-info-search
  • grid-proxy-init
  • grid-proxy-info
  If any of these are not found in your $PATH on the system you are running the test from, any tests that depend on the missing command(s) will be skipped.
  
  

Syntax

grid-status-test [-h HTMLFILE TITLE] [-t secs] site1 [site2 ...]
    where -h writes html results to HTMLFILE with page title "TITLE"
                -t specifies a timeout for child processes
                -v prints the version number of this program
                site1 [site2 ...] is a list of sites to test
