NAME

6       updatesrv - update server files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       updatesrv [ -d debug_level ] [ -l number_of_lwps ] [ -p prefix ] [ -s ]
10       [ -port listen_port ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The updatesrv command is a read-only server that responds  to  requests
14       for files by name.  The operands that it accepts are:
15
16       -d debug_level
17              This  is  used  to increase the level of messages written to the
18              log file.
19
20
21       -l number_of_lwps
22              This operand is used to specify how many lwps will  be  used  to
23              answer file requests.  Default: 2.
24
25
26       -p prefix
27              This  name,  prefixed to all file requests, is used to limit the
28              files that can be requested.
29
30
31       -port listen_port
32              This is the UDP port on which we should  be  listening.  If  not
33              specified updatesrv will use a random port.

35

EXAMPLES

37       The  command  updatesrv  -s -p / would invoke the updatesrv process and
38       cause the files to be served relative to / on the server machine.
39
40       The command updatesrv -s -p /vice/bin  would  cause  the  files  to  be
41       served relative to /vice/bin on the server machine.
42

DIAGNOSTICS

44       The  UpdateLog  file  will  contain useful information.  Issuing a kill
45       -TSTP signal to a running updatesrv will increase the level  of  debug‐
46       ging  messages.   The debugging messages can be turned off by issuing a
47       kill -HUP signal.  This will also cause the log file to  no  longer  be
48       written.

FILES

51       UpdateLog
52              This log of the messages from updatesrv is kept in the directory
53              specified by the -p operand on the invocation.  This log file is
54              only written when debugging is enabled.
55
56
57       pid    This file contains the pid of the updatesrv process.  It is kept
58              in the directory specified on the -p operand  on  invocation  of
59              the command.

BUGS

63       It  does  not  yet  use any password authentication to stop others from
64       using it to fetch files from servers.
