+Starting workers on OSG sites through GlideinWMS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As an alternative to the above gram based 'direct' worker submission, a GlideinWMS based worker submission can be made. The service start step would be same as above.
+
+GlideinWMS is a Glidein Based WMS (Workload Management System) that works on top of condor.
+
+As with the case of Gram based workers, the condor directory must be pre-created and will be used by Condor to
+return stdout and stderr files from the Condor jobs, which will
+execute the wrapper script "run-workers.sh".
+
+NOTE: this script is current built manually, and wraps around and
+transports the worker.pl script. This needs to be automated.

+In the above commandline, one can change the number of workers by changing the second commandline argument, which is 100 in this example.
