NAME

       berkeley_db5.3_svc - Berkeley DB RPC server

SYNOPSIS

       berkeley_db5.3_svc [-Vv] [-h home] [-I seconds] [-L file] [-t seconds] [-T seconds]

DESCRIPTION

       The berkeley_db5.3_svc utility is the Berkeley DB RPC server.

OPTIONS

       -h     Add  the specified home directory to the list of allowed home directories that can be specified by
              the client.  The home directory should be an absolute pathname.  The last component of  each  home
              directory  specified must be unique because that is how clients specify which database environment
              they want to join.

              Recovery will be run on each specified environment before the  server  begins  accepting  requests
              from clients.  For this reason, only one copy of the server program should ever be run at any time
              because recovery must always be single-threaded.

       -I     Set the default idle timeout for client environments to the  specified  number  of  seconds.   The
              default timeout is 24 hours.

       -L     Log the execution of the berkeley_db5.3_svc utility to the specified file in the following format,
              where ### is the process ID, and the date is the time the utility was started.

              berkeley_db5.3_svc: ### Wed Jun 15 01:23:45 EDT 1995

              This file will be removed if the berkeley_db5.3_svc utility exits gracefully.

       -t     Set the default timeout for client resources (idle transactions  and  cursors)  to  the  specified
              number  of seconds.  When the timeout expires, if the resource is a transaction, it is aborted; if
              the resource is a cursor, it is closed.  The default timeout is 5 minutes.

       -T     Set the maximum timeout allowed for client resources.  The default timeout is 20  minutes.   If  a
              client application requests a server timeout greater than the maximum timeout set for this server,
              the client's timeout will be capped at the maximum timeout value.

       -V     Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.

       -v     Run in verbose mode.

       The berkeley_db5.3_svc utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT

       DB_HOME
              If the -h option is not specified and the environment variable DB_HOME is set, it is used  as  the
              path of the database home, as described in DB_ENV->open.
