DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       _s_g_e___s_t controls the Grid Engine support for Service  Tags.   A  Service
       Tag support improve the monitoring of usages of the Grid Engine.

       eennaabbllee Enables  the  Service Tags support for Grid Engine.  If the Ser-
              vice Tags packages are installed on the host,  the  presence  of
              the  product  instance  service tag is checked in every start of
              the qmaster daemon.


       ddiissaabbllee
              Disables the Service Tags support for Grid Engine.


       rreeggiisstteerr
              Create the product instance service tag.


       uunnrreeggiisstteerr
              Remove the product instance service tag.


       cchheecckk  Checks the status of the product instance service  tag.  If  not
              registered,  the  option returns "unregistered".  If registered,
              the option returns "registered:<product_instance_urn>"


       eennaabblleedd
              Check the status of the service tags  support.  If  the  service
              tags  are  enabled  by  Grid  Engine  administrator,  the option
              returns "true", otherwise "false".


       ssuuppppoorrtteedd
              Checks if the Service Tags are  supported  on  this  host.  This
              option  validates  the  presence of the Service Tags packages on
              the host and checks if they are correctly installed. If  Service
              Tags  are  supported  on  this  host,  the  option return a word
              "true", otherwise "false".

       Service Tags enables automatic discovery of systems, software and  ser-
       vices.  A service tag uniquely identifies each tagged asset, and allows
       the asset information to be shared over a local network in  a  standard
       XML format.

       The  Grid Engine can create a service tag for one cluster installation.
       A service tag entry is stored in the Service Tag registry.   Each  ser-
       vice  tag has an unique instance identifier which is generated when the
       record is added to the registry.  This identifier is used  as  the  key
       when accessing the record.

       The  discoverer  and  listener services installed together with Service
       Tags on a host. They provide a way to discover a service tags  via  the
       network. The discoverer is a UDP-based application which exists to pro-
       vide information about the  listener.   The  listener  is  a  TCP-based
       application  which  provides a way to gather service tag and associated
       environmental information.

       The discoverer service is used by operating system upgrade or  register
       tools to send the service tags data to SUN.  There is no other way, how
       to propagate the collected data to SUN than  through  the  registration
       tool.  The  data  to be send can be inspected and accepted. The Service
       Tags Data is going to be analyzed.
