NAME
       gdnc - GNUstep Distributed Notification Center


SYNOPSIS
       gdnc


DESCRIPTION
       The  gdnc  daemon  is  used  by  GNUstep  programs to send notifications and messages to one another.  By
       default it uses private inter-process communications accessible only to the curtrent user on the  machine
       on which it is running (where the operating system supports them).

       Every  user  needs  to have his own instance of gdnc running. While gdnc will be started automatically as
       soon as it is needed, it is recommended to start gdnc in  a  personal  login  script  like  ~/.bashrc  or
       ~/.cshrc.   Alternatively (if you have no command-line tools which use distributed notifications) you can
       launch gdnc when your windowing system or the window manager is started. For example, on systems with X11
       you can launch gdnc from your .xinitrc script or alternatively - if you are running Window Maker - put it
       in Window Maker's autostart script.  See the GNUstep Build Guide for a sample startup script.


OPTIONS
       To attach gdnc to a remote session use the

       -NSHost hostname
              argument.

       To run a copy of the server to handle public notifications (available to all users on the local machine)

       -GSPublic YES

       To run a copy of the server to handle network-public  notifications  (available  to  all  users  able  to
       connect to the local machine on the network)

       -GSNetwork YES


DIAGNOSTICS
       gdomap  -L  GDNCServer  will  lookup  instances of gdnc which were launched with the NSHost, GSPublic, or
       GSNetwork command line arguments.

       Alternatively, gdomap -N will list all registered names on the local host.
