NAME

sgbounce − provide network name service

SYNOPSIS

sgbounce [ system name ] [ boot directory ]

DESCRIPTION

Sgbounce is a daemon that provides name service to IRIS Terminals on an Ethernet local area network.  The system name on the command line should be identical to the kernel’s idea of the host name (i.e. /bin/hostname).  Sgbounce is normally run in the background.  For example,

# sgbounce `/bin/hostname` /usr/iris/boot &

sgbounce can be started by hand, as shown above, but should normally be started in the file /etc/rc.xns. 

NOTE

Only one copy of sgbounce may be running at one time.
