NAME

dtsd - Restarts the DTS daemon

SYNOPSIS

dtsd -s [server options] [common options]
 
dtsd -c [common options]

SERVER OPTIONS

-k courierRuns dtsd as a courier. 

-k noncourierRuns dtsd as a noncourier. 

-oWhen enabling as a server, set the clock immediately.  Equivalent to the command enable set clock true in dtscp or to the command dcecp dts activate -abruptly. 

-gRuns dtsd as a global server. 

-sRuns dtsd as a server. The default is backup courier and local server.  -s or -c must be on the command line to specify server type. 

-cRuns dtsd as a clerk.  -s or -c must be on the command line to specify server type. 

COMMON OPTIONS

-dDebug mode.  The command runs in the foreground. 

-w serviceabilitySee the svcroute(5dce) reference page for the full description of the appropriate format for this entry.  Only the three-field format, severity:how:where is used. An example is:

FATAL:TEXTFILE:/dev/console

-mAccept timing messages in DLI. (Default is RPC only.) 

DESCRIPTION

The dtsd command invokes the DTS daemon (server or clerk process).  This command is usually executed as part of the overall DCE startup script, dcesetup. 

You can enter the command manually under the following conditions:

       •If a DTS daemon fails to start automatically upon reboot

       •If you want to restart a daemon that you shut down to perform a backup or do diagnostic work

In normal rebooting, the rc.dce script automatically provides arguments appropriate to the choice of configuration options. 

The command line options shown here can also be provided to dced as part of the fixed configuration strings, if dced is configured to automatically start dtsd. 

If dtsd is started with no arguments (other than -d and -w), then the server must be started with dcecp.  The following example configures a local server:

dcecp> dts configure -notglobal
dcecp> dts activate

Privileges Required

DTS runs as the host machine principal, which is usually root.  See the security reference section for information about principals. 

NOTES

Use dtsd interactively only when troubleshooting; otherwise use the /sbin/rc3.d/S66dce script to start the DTS daemon.  On some systems the superuser is associated with the machine principal. 

EXAMPLES

To restart the daemon, follow these steps:

     1.Log into the system as superuser (root). 

     2.Use the ps command to make sure that dced and cdsadv are running.  (The DCE daemon provides the endpoint mapping and security services, and cdsadv provides CDS.) 

     3.Use the following command to restart the dts daemon as a clerk:

dtsd -c

 
To restart the dts daemon as a server use the following command:

dtsd -s

To restart the dts daemon as a global server, setting the clock on startup, use the following command:

dtsd -s -g -o
