Gridinit

Gridinit is a tool used to manage non-daemon processes.

Supported Linux Distributions

• Ubuntu
  • Trusty
  • Xenial
  • Bionic
  • Focal

Wanna check? Then use the build_all.sh script that relies on our Dockerfile to reproduce minimal build environments.

Dependencies

• A toolchain made of cmake, make, pkg-config, gcc or clang
• The GNome Library
• Martin Sustrik's libdill in its OpenIO supported version.

Build

Building gridinit is configured by cmake, done by make and requires that libdill is installed ans its installation paths are configured with pkg-config.

cmake -D GRIDINIT_SOCK_PATH=/tmp/gridinit.sock .
make

But libdill is rarely available in mainstream Linux distributions, so here are the build instructions to build it from the git submodule:

git submodule update --init --recursive
cd vendor/libdill
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-tls --enable-threads
make
sudo make install

Compile-time Configuration

Macro	Default	Description
GRIDINIT_SOCK_PATH	/var/run/gridinit.sock	Path used for the socket on both server and client side, when no path is specified in the configuration.
