+.SH NAME
+
+icegridnode - The IceGrid node server.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+icegridnode [options]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+An IceGrid node is a process that activates, monitors, and deactivates
+registered server processes. You can run any number of nodes in a domain, but
+typically there is one node per host. A node must be running on each host on
+which servers are activated automatically, and nodes cannot run without an 
+IceGrid registry. The IceGrid node server is implemented by the icegridnode
+executable. If you wish to run a registry and node in one process, 
+icegridnode is the executable you must use. Full documentation for icegridnode
+is available online at: 
+.br
+"http://doc.zeroc.com/display/Ice/icegridnode".
