The clue appears to be in the gnome shortcut:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Node Service
Comment=Run the node service software
TryExec=AGServiceManager.py
Exec=AGServiceManager.py -n
Icon=/usr/share/AccessGrid/ag.ico
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=X-Access-Grid-Services;

I'm guessing that the AGServiceManager.py script acts as a NodeService when
you pass it the -n flag

Sure enough:

[ag at agnode2 ag]$ AGServiceManager.py --help
usage: AGServiceManager.py [options]

options:
   -h, --help            show this help message and exit
   -d, --debug           Set the debug level of this program.
   -lLOGFILE, --logfile=LOGFILE
                         Specify a log file to output logging to.
   --numlogfiles=NUMLOGFILES
                         Specify the number of log files to retain
   --logfilesize=LOGFILESIZE
                         Specify the size of log files to retain
   -cCONFIGFILE, --configfile=CONFIGFILE
                         Specify a configuration file for the program.
   --version             Print out what version of the toolkit this is.
   -i, --insecure        Use insecure communications.
   --profile=PROFILE     Specify a service profile.
   -pPORT, --port=PORT   Set the port the service manager should run on.
   -n, --nodeService     Run a node service interface too.

So it'll run as both a NodeService and a Service Manager.

Why didn't you just click on the entry in the menu if you weren't sure?
