Dear colleagues,
I'm looking for some brave soul that could explain to my limited 
sysadmin mind what could possibly be the reason for the cronjob 
specified in $SUBJECT on a WMS node. It is apparently designed to 
attempt to start some WMS daemons, regardless of whether the "gLite" 
service is supposed to be running or not. This means that 
`/etc/init.d/gLite stop` on a WMS node is not enough to stop the service 
and perform its maintenance, as some daemons might "suddenly" start again.

I didn't realize that one has to read through various wiki pages to find 
a document about how to stop a WMS. Am I the only one who finds such an 
approach to a problem "let's make sure it doesn't die" a bit weird?

With kind regards,
J. Kundrát
