     NAME
          dgsstrerr - Data General streams interface daemon

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/sbin/dgsstrerr

     DESCRIPTION
          The dgsstrerr daemon processes information it receives from
          the /dev/log pseudo-device. It creates an AV/Alert machine
          initiated packet with this information and forwards it to
          the dgsvcd daemon. With AV/Alert support enabled, for Data
          General warranty and contract customers, the daemon will
          automatically send the information to the designated Data
          General service center.


          The dgsstrerr daemon should be used instead of the strerr
          and strace daemons.

     EXAMPLES
          The following error was received by the /dev/log pseudo-
          device, sent to the dgsstrerr daemon, and written to
          /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/dgsvcdlog:

          (11-7-91 9:0:2) (dgsstrerr) Error : message

          This message indicates that a STREAMS driver or module sent
          the message "message" to the /dev/log daemon.

     FILES
          /dev/log
                            The pseudo-device that receives messages
                            from STREAMS drivers or modules.
          /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/dgsvcdlog
                            The log file for dgsstrerr.
          /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/.sv.pipe
                            The pipe to communicate with dgsvcd.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          dgsstrerr exits if:
           1) It cannot initiate a process to run in
           2) It cannot open the /dev/log pseudo-device
           3) It cannot connect to dgsvcd to report an error
