NAME

cdsadv - Starts the CDS client daemon

SYNOPSIS

cdsadv [-c size] [-D] [-s] [-w route]

OPTIONS

-c sizeSpecifies cache size in kilobytes.  Changing cache sizes causes previously cached information to be discarded, including information about cached servers, so use of this option may necessitate defining a new cached server. 

-DFor debugging use only.  Causes the cdsadv process to not fork. 

-sCauses the cdsadv process not to send or receive advertisements.  This argument can be used for diagnostic work involving multiple servers on the same local area network to limit access to those servers identified with the define cached server command. 

-w routeRoutes serviceability messages. 

DESCRIPTION

The cdsadv command starts the Cell Directory Service (CDS) client daemon. 

Privileges Required

You must log in as superuser (root). 

NOTES

This command is ordinarily executed by a DCE configuration or startup script.  You should use this command interactively only when the cdsadv process fails to start automatically after a reboot, or if you want to restart the cdsadv process after disabling it to perform a backup or to do diagnostic work on the host system. 

EXAMPLE

     1.Log in to the clerk system as superuser (root). 

     2.Verify that the dced process is running.
