NAME

       grid-mapfile-check-consistency - Add an entry to a grid map file

SYNOPSIS

       grid-mapfile-check-consistency [-h] [-help] [-usage] [-version]

       grid-mapfile-check-consistency [-mapfile MAPFILE] | [-f MAPFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       The grid-mapfile-check-consistency program performs basic checks for validity of a gridmap file. These checks include checks for existence,
       duplication of entries, and valid local user names. If the gridmap file is valid, grid-mapfile-check-consistency exits with a zero exit
       code, otherwise it exits with a non-zero exit code. In either case, it displays information about its progress as it parses and validates
       the gridmap file.

       By default, grid-mapfile-check-consistency will check the gridmap file named by the GRIDMAP environment variable if present. If that
       variable is not set, it will check the file $HOME/.gridmap for non-root users if present. If that doesn't exist or
       grid-mapfile-check-consistency is run as root, it will then check /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile. This can be changed by the use of the
       -mapfile or -f command-line options.

       The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-check-consistency are:

       -help, -h, -usage
	   Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-check-consistency.

       -version
	   Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-check-consistency command.

       -mapfile MAPFILE, -f MAPFILE
	   Check the gridmap file named by MAPFILE instead of the default.

EXAMPLES

       Check that the gridmap file in /etc/grid-security is valid:

	   % grid-mapfile-check-consistency -f /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
	   Checking /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
	   Verifying grid mapfile existence...OK
	   Checking for duplicate entries...OK
	   Checking for valid user names...OK

       Check a gridmap file that has an invalid local user name:

	   % grid-mapfile-check-consistency -f /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
	   Checking /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
	   Verifying grid mapfile existence...OK
	   Checking for duplicate entries...OK
	   ERROR: baduser is not a valid local username
	   ERROR: Found 1 invalid username(s)
