NAME

       ace_netsvcs — ACE network services driver.

SYNOPSIS

       ace_netsvcs [OPTION ...]

DESCRIPTION

       ace_netsvcs  is  a  driver to start ACE network services. Currently, libnetsvcs provides: Naming Service,
       Time Service, Token Service, Server Logging Service, Client Logging Service, Logging Strategy Service.

OPTIONS

       -f svc.conf
                 Specifies a svc.conf configuration file name other than  the  default  one.  Can  be  specified
                 multiple times to use multiple files.

       -d        Turn on debugging mode.

       -n        Explicitly  disables  the use of static services. This flag overrides the @a ignore_static_svcs
                 parameter value.

       -p pathname
                 Specifies a pathname which is used to store the process id.

       -s signal Specifies a signal number other than  SIGHUP  to  trigger  reprocessing  of  the  configuration
                 file(s). Ignored for platforms that do not have POSIX signals, such as Windows.

       -y        Explicitly  enables  the  use of static services. This flag overrides the @a ignore_static_svcs
                 parameter value.

       -S directive
                 Specifies a service directive string.  Enclose the string in quotes  and  escape  any  embedded
                 quotes  with  a  backslash.  This  option  specifies  service directives without the need for a
                 configuration file.

       -b        Option to indicate that we should be a daemon. Note that when this option is used, the  process
                 will be daemonized before the service configuration file(s) are read. During daemonization, (on
                 POSIX systems) the current directory will be changed to "/" so the caller should  either  fully
                 specify  the  file  names,  or  execute  a  @c  chroot()  to  the  appropriate  directory.  @sa
                 ACE::daemonize().

       -k point  Specifies the rendezvous point to use for the ACE distributed logger.

EXAMPLES

       ace_netsvcs -f /usr/share/ace-netsvcs/svc.conf
                 Starts ACE network services using example configuration.

       ace_netsvcs -S 'dynamic Name_Server Service_Object * netsvcs:_make_ACE_Name_Acceptor() "-p 20006"'
                 Starts ACE Naming service using command line configuration.
