10.2;llbd (Local Location Broker Daemon), NCK version 1.5.1, 89/05/31
llbd - Local Location Broker Daemon
usage: /etc/ncs/llbd [ -version ]
DESCRIPTION
The Local Location Broker daemon (llbd) is part of the Network Computing
System (NCS). It manages the Local Location Broker (LLB) database, which
stores information about NCS-based server programs running on the local
host.
A host must run llbd if it is to support the Location Broker forwarding
function or to allow remote access (for example, by the lbadmin tool) to
the LLB database. In general, any host that runs NCS-based servers
should run an llbd, and llbd should be running before any such servers
are started. Additionally, any network or internet supporting NCS
activity should have at least one host running a Global Location Broker
daemon (glbd).
(On MS-DOS systems, which can run only one process at a time, llbd
functionality is automatically incorporated into every NCS-based server.)
The following subsections briefly describe llbd startup on various
systems. See Managing NCS Software for more detailed information.
Running llbd on SR10 Apollo Systems
If the LLB is to support remote access from hosts in the IP address
family, a TCP daemon (tcpd) must be running on the local node when llbd
is started.
To start llbd on a node that is already running, become root and type the
following at a shell prompt:
$ /etc/server /etc/ncs/llbd
To have llbd start every time a node boots, use touch or crf to create
the file /etc/daemons/llbd.
Running llbd on SR9 Apollo Systems
If the LLB is to support remote access from hosts in the IP address
family, a TCP server (tcpserver) must be running on the local node when
llbd is started.
To start llbd on a node that is already running, become root and type the
following at a Display Manager prompt:
Command: cps /sys/ncs/llbd
To have llbd start every time a node boots, add the following line to the
file `nodedata/startup.suffix, where suffix indicates the display type:
cps /sys/ncs/llbd
Running llbd on SunOS and ULTRIX Systems
On SunOS and ULTRIX systems, llbd is typically started by a line in
/etc/rc such as the following:
/etc/ncs/llbd
To start llbd by hand on one of these systems, you must be root.
Running llbd on VMS Systems
On VMS systems, llbd is typically started by a line in the systartup.com
startup file. To start llbd by hand on one of these systems, you need
special privileges which are described in Managing NCS Software.
