WRITED(1M)      DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)      WRITED(1M)



NAME
     writed - daemon for write(1) program

USAGE
     /etc/writed

DESCRIPTION
     The writed daemon is used by the write(1) program.  To
     enable a write to a node other than your own, writed must be
     running on the recipient node. Similarly, you must be run-
     ning writed on your node if they are to write back to you.

     You must always run an mbx_helper program along with each
     writed process. The mbx_helper is a program residing in the
     /sys/mbx directory of your node. When it is run, it allows
     your node to handle interprocess communications with other
     nodes in your network also running mbx_helper.

     We recommend invoking writed in background mode via the
     /etc/rc Shell script.  If you include the lines

     if [ -f /etc/writed ]; then
          /etc/writed &
     fi

     in your node's `node_data/etc.rc file, the
     /etc/run_rc program will start writed at boot time (after
     first checking to see if the file exists).

FILES
     /etc/utmp           record of who is logged in on the node
                         (link to `node_data/etc.utmp).
