NAME

       dtn2adminep - administrative endpoint task for the "dtn" scheme

SYNOPSIS

       dtn2adminep

DESCRIPTION

       dtn2adminep is a background "daemon" task that receives and processes administrative bundles (all custody
       signals and, nominally, all bundle status reports) that are sent to the "dtn"-scheme administrative
       endpoint on the local ION node, if and only if such an endpoint was established by bpadmin.  It is
       spawned automatically by bpadmin in response to the 's' (START) command that starts operation of Bundle
       Protocol on the local ION node, and it is terminated by bpadmin in response to an 'x' (STOP) command.
       dtn2adminep can also be spawned and terminated in response to START and STOP commands that pertain
       specifically to the "dtn" scheme.

       dtn2adminep responds to custody signals as specified in the Bundle Protocol specification, RFC 5050.  It
       responds to bundle status reports by logging ASCII text messages describing the reported activity.

EXIT STATUS

       "0" dtn2adminep terminated, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  If this termination was not
           commanded, investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file and use bpadmin to restart
           dtn2adminep.

       "1" dtn2adminep was unable to attach to Bundle Protocol operations or was unable to load the "dtn" scheme
           database, probably because bpadmin has not yet been run.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file:

       dtn2adminep can't attach to BP.
           bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations.

       dtn2adminep can't load routing database.
           dtn2admin has not yet initialized the "dtn" scheme.

       dtn2adminep can't get admin EID.
           dtn2admin has not yet initialized the "dtn" scheme.

       dtn2adminep crashed.
           An unrecoverable database error was encountered.  dtn2adminep terminates.
