OPTIONS

     The available options are as follows:

     status                         print status of running daemons

     target                         affect c[ontroller] or a[gent] daemon

                                    Note that 'restart' will kill all
                                    instances of a given daemon, as will
                                    'stop' if none is specified in the pid
                                    file.

HISTORY

     This program was first introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger".  It was
     inspired by apachectl(8).

BUGS

     xgridctl(8) uses kill -TERM to allow the daemons a chance to die grace-
     fully; there is currently no way to force a kill -KILL.
