Invokes the reload() operation on the DeployService running in the remote container. It tells the container to reinitialize all of its services, re-read its and service configuration files, etc. For example, the administrator can change the security descriptor of a service and then use the globus-reload-container command to force the container to load the updated configuration without restarting the container.

By default the DeployService is configured to perform self authorization and therefore the globus-reload-container must be executed with the same credentials as the container it is running with. Alternatively, the service can be configured with a gridmap file to allow a subset of users (with their own credentials) to invoke the service (please see the service security deployment descriptor for details).

	Note
	This command only works with the standalone container. Please see the Java WS Core Dynamic Deploy Design Document for more information.

-a, --anonymous	Enables anonymous authentication. Only supported with transport security or the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism.
-g, --delegation <mode>	Enables delegation. mode can be either 'limited' or 'full'. Only supported with the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism.
-l, --contextLifetime <value>	Sets the lifetime of the client security context. value is in milliseconds. Only supported with the GSI Secure Conversation authentication mechanism.
-m, --securityMech <type>	Specifies the authentication mechanism. type can be 'msg' for GSI Secure Message, or 'conv' for GSI Secure Conversation.
-c, --serverCertificate <file>	Specifies the server's certificate file used for encryption. Only needed for the GSI Secure Message authentication mechanism.
-p, --protection <type>	Specifies the protection level. type can be 'sig' for signature or 'enc' for encryption.
