NSREXECD(8)                 Legato NetWorker 4.0                 NSREXECD(8)


NAME
       nsrexecd - NetWorker remote save execution server

SYNOPSIS
       nsrexecd [ -s server [ -s server ...  ] [ -f serverfile ] [ -p
       savepath ]

DESCRIPTION
       nsrexecd is used by savegroup(8) to start saves on NetWorker client
       machines.  It is normally started at boot time on each NetWorker
       client machine.

       nsrexecd exports an RPC-based service to remotely execute save com­
       mands.  All requests must be authenticated, and can optionally be
       restricted to a specific NetWorker server.  Only save requests (e.g.
       save(8) or savefs(8)) are allowed.

       When command execution is requested, nsrexecd first verifies that the
       request is authenticated, and that it comes from a valid NetWorker
       server.  Next, nsrexecd verifies that the command is a save command
       (e.g.  save(8) or savefs(8)).  It then executes the specified command
       from the NetWorker binary directory.  This directory is normally
       determined by the location of the nsrexecd executable, but can be
       specified on the command line.

OPTIONS
       -s server
              Only allow save requests to be initiated by the given server
              host.  Multiple -s options may be given to allow access by
              several servers.  If a server has multiple network interfaces,
              it is often best to list the name of each network interface,
              to avoid failed saves.

       -f serverfile
              Specifies a file containing a list of servers which can initi­
              ate saves.  This file should list one server name per line.

       -p savepath
              Tells nsrexecd to look for save commands in the savepath
              directory, rather than the default (the directory in which
              nsrexecd exists).
