Name

globus-wsc-container — Hosts C web services

Synopsis

globus-wsc-container

Tool description

This command starts the C WS container, allowing WS and WSRF-enabled services to be invoked. globus-wsc-container must be running to invoke services written using the C WS core.

Features

  • The container can be run in the background with the -bg option, and -pidfile allows the pid of the process to written to a specified file. This is useful for scripting the command, especially when running tests, or when the container process is expected to have a short lifetime.
  • Supports HTTPS by default. In order to turn off HTTPS, use the -nosec argument

Limitations

  • The C container does not have a shutdown command (the Java container has globus-stop-container). To shutdown the C container, you can either CRTL-C the process, or kill the process with the process ID (use -pidfile)
