DESCRIPTION

     rspserver is an example Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool element (PE) that provides
     multiple services. Upon startup, one service has to be selected by the command-line
     parameters. To start multiple services, run multiple instances.  rspserver provides the
     following services:

     CalcApp
             Calculation application model for performance tests. See http://duepublico.uni-
             duisburg-essen.de/servlets/DerivateServlet/Derivate-16326/Dre2006-final.pdf for more
             information.

     CharGen
             Sending as much character data as possible.

     Daytime
             Sending back current time of day.

     Discard
             Discarding incoming data.

     Echo    Echoing back incoming data.

     Fractal
             Fractal generator with cookie-based failover.

     PingPong
             Simple request-response example using cookies for failover.

     Scripting
             Remote execution of scripts with upload/download of input/output data. Could for
             example be used for distributing simulation runs. Take care of security when using
             this service!

ARGUMENTS

     The following options are available:

     Common Pool Element Parameters:

             -local=address:port,address,...
                     Sets the local endpoint address(es).

             -asapannounce=address:port|auto|off
                     Sets the multicast address and port the ASAP instance listens for ASAP
                     Server Announces on.

             -identifier=PE_identifier
                     Sets a fixed PE identifier. Handle with care!

             -policy=policy_specification
                     Sets the pool policy and its parameters (default is Round Robin).  Supported
                     policy specifications:

                     RoundRobin (default policy)

                     WeightedRoundRobin:weight

                     Random

                     WeightedRandom:weight

                     LeastUsed

                     LeastUsedDegradation:increment

                     PriorityLeastUsed:increment

                     LeastUsedDPF:dpf_value

                     Priority:priority

                     ...

             -poolhandle=pool_handle
                     Sets the PH to a non-default value; otherwise, the default setting is the
                     service-specific default.

             -quiet  Do not print startup and shutdown messages.

             -rereginterval=milliseconds
                     Sets the PE's re-registration interval.

             -runtime=seconds
                     After the configured number of seconds, the service is shut down.  Floating-
                     point values (e.g. 30.125) are possible.

             -uptime=seconds
                     After negative exponential randomized uptime, the PE service goes down for a
                     configured downtime. After that, it comes up again. This option can be used
                     for testing the failure handling procedures.

             -downtime=seconds
                     After negative exponential randomized downtime, the PE service comes up
                     again. This option can be used for testing the failure handling procedures.

     Logging Parameters:

             -logappend=filename
                     Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); output will be appended
                     to given file.

             -logcolor=on|off
                     Turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off.

             -logfile=filename
                     Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); given file will be
                     overwritten.

             -loglevel=0-9
                     Sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very verbose).  It is
                     recommended to use at least a value of 2 to see possibly important error
                     messages and warnings.

     ASAP Protocol Parameters:

             -registrar=address:port
                     Adds a static PR entry into the Registrar Table.  It is possible to add
                     multiple entries.

             -registrarannouncetimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.

             -registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.

             -registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials
                     Sets the maximum number of ASAP connection establishment trials.

             -registrarrequesttimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for ASAP requests.

             -registrarresponsetimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for waiting to receive ASAP responses.

             -registrarrequestmaxtrials=trials
                     Sets the maximum number of ASAP request trials.

     Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters:

             -cspinterval=milliseconds
                     Sets the interval for the CSP status updates in milliseconds. By default,
                     the content of the environment variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not
                     defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

             -cspserver=address:port
                     Sets the address of a CSP monitor server. By default, the content of the
