The OSG Software team would like to announce a beta release of
osg-control, a new software tool for managing OSG services. Many thanks
to Tony Tiradani for writing and contributing this software to OSG!

In OSG 1.2, most OSG services could be managed with a tool called
vdt-control, providing an easy way to view services and enable/disable
them. To provide some of this functionality to OSG 3.x, osg-control was
written as a wrapper around osg-configure and the services it manages. The
new tool allows querying the status, starting/stopping, and
enabling/disabling OSG services individually or all at once.

We have released a beta version of osg-control in the osg-testing
repository and are inviting community testing and feedback. If you
currently use osg-configure for OSG services, it should be an easy
install:

yum install --enablerepo=osg-testing osg-control
