NAME

       omniNames - OmniORB Interoperable Naming Service

SYNOPSIS

       omniNames [options] [omniORB-options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the omniNames command.

       omniNames  is  omniORBs Interoperable Naming Service for CORBA, an implementation of the OMG's COS Naming
       Service Specification.  To make it easy to use omniNames with corbaname URIs, it starts with the  default
       port of 2809 and an object key of NameService for the root naming context.

       When  started  for  the  first  time  omniNames needs to be told which port it should listen on.  This is
       specified with the -start option.  Subsequentley omniNames will always determine its port  from  the  log
       file which it writes.

       When  omniNames starts up successfully it writes the stringified object reference for its root context on
       standard error.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.  For a complete description, see the HTML pages included  in  the
       omniorb-doc package.

       -start [port]
              This needs to be used the first time omniNames is run.  With no port argument the standard default
              of 2809 is used.

       -logdir directory_name
              This specifies the directory where the log/data files  are  kept.   By  default  /var/lib/omniorb-
              nameserver/ is used.

       -errlog file_name
              Where to redirect standard error output.

       -ignoreport
              Ignore the port specification.

ENVIRONMENT

       OMNINAMES_LOGDIR
              Alternate way to specify the directory where the log/data files are kept.

       OMNINAMES_ITBC
              Idle time between checkpoints in seconds.  It defaults to 15 minutes.
