       NAME
             tsad - daemon for Storage Management Services (SMS) Target
             Service Agent (TSA) for UnixWare

       SYNOPSIS
             tsad [-f config_file] [-t register_timeout] [-c connect_timeout]
                   [-p path_to_tsaunix]

       DESCRIPTION
             The tsad program is a daemon process that makes up part of the
             Storage Management Services (SMS) Target Service Agent (TSA)
             for UnixWare.  Its job is to notify a set of NetWare servers
             that a UnixWare machine is available to be backed up and wait
             for a backup request from one of those servers.  When a
             request for backup arrives from a NetWare server, the
             tsaunix(1) program is spawned to interact with the operator on
             the NetWare server and to transmit the data to be backed up.

             If one of the notified NetWare servers is reset, it will no
             longer be aware of the UnixWare machine.  tsad will therefore
             wake up every register_timeout seconds and notify each NetWare
             server again.

             The NetWare servers to be notified, along with the protocol to
             be used to notify each server, is read from config_file.  See
             unixtsa.conf(4) for details on the format of this file.  If a
             NIS map named unixtsa is found in the currently bound NIS
             domain, then this map will similarly be scanned for servers.

       OPTIONS
             -f config_file
                   Specify the configuration file to be used.  Defaults to
                   /etc/unixtsa.conf.

             -t register_timeout
                   Specify a registration timeout value in seconds.  When
                   this time limit expires, the daemon will again register
                   with each NetWare server that it knows about.  Defaults
                   to one hour (3600).

             -c connection_timeout
                   Specify a connection timeout value in seconds.  When
                   communicating with a NetWare server for any reason, the
                   daemon will wait this many seconds for replies.  This
                   value may need to be increased for slow networks,
                   keeping in mind that a server request to perform a

      tsad(1)                                                      tsad(1)


                  backup cannot be serviced while the daemon is already
                  trying to contact another server.  Defaults to thirty
                  seconds (30).

            -p path_to_tsaunix
                  Specify the full path to the tsaunix executable.
                  Defaults to /opt/bin/tsaunix.

      FILES
            /usr/lib/locale/LC_MESSAGES/tsad.cat
                  language specific message file [See LANG on environ(5).]

            /etc/unixtsa.conf
                  Default configuration file that lists NetWare servers
                  with which to register the protocol to use for each
                  server.  This information will also be read from the NIS
                  map unixtsa if it exists.
