2780d(8) — VAX
Name
2780d − IBM 2780/3780 RJE emulator daemon
Syntax
2780d
Description
The 2780d program is automatically executed when a user runs 2780e() or 3780e(.). Once executed, 2780d transmits all data files (df*) in /usr/spool/rje which have associated control files (cf*), to the IBM system.
Two users executing 2780e(3780e) do not cause two daemons to run. The first one executed handles both transmissions. The daemon’s process id is kept in /usr/spool/rje/.rjed. Each time a daemon is run, it checks that file to see if an active daemon is running and exits if one is.
If 2780d has trouble accessing files, the system manager should clean up the spool directory by removing any outdated received files or data files which are not associated with a corresponding control file.
The 2780d program may become disabled when: the call to the IBM system has not been completed within one minute, the IBM system has gone down during transmission, the /usr/spool/rje/.rjed file can not be read, there has been an error in sending or receiving.
To re-establish the connection to the IBM system, restart the daemon by typing 2780d on the command line.
When files are received from the IBM system, 2780d places them in /usr/spool/rje/rjetemp.out. If your username is included in the job control statements, the files are given a file name with the form rjedaytime and placed in your home directory. If your username is not included, the files are placed in /usr/spool/rje. If there are problems in renaming the files, they remain in /usr/spool/rje/rjetemp.out.
To obtain a log of all files that are sent and received the system manager must create /usr/spool/rje/acctlog. Once created, this file will list each file transmission. Errors are logged in /usr/adm/rjelog.
