Hi David, all I am very busy in this time of the year so I will come back to this very late in time, sorry about it. In principle I agree with the comments Paul and Stephen expressed. Cheers, Florido On 2014-09-24 13:36, stephen.burke@stfc.ac.uk wrote:

A service is normally distinguished by having an endpoint through which a client can interact with it. For this reason, Service objects are normally servers, not clients. What you describe sounds like client software for interacting with SLURM: i.e., the software installed on some machines that lets one submit jobs into a SURLM-managed batch system.
Yes, I thought the same. The GOC DB has some things which are just property tags, which don't really correspond to services in the glue sense, and this may be one of them.
If so, it sounds a bit like a EGI UI machine: how do we publish these currently?
I don't think UIs are defined, but VO boxes are and they are somewhat similar. However, those are machines which provide access to a bundle of client software and other things (e.g. CAs and CRLs), not just a single client.
