NAME
updatesrv - update server filesSYNOPSIS
updatesrv [ -d debug_level ] [ -l number_of_lwps ] [ -p prefix ] [ -s ] [ -port listen_port ]
DESCRIPTION
The updatesrv command is a read-only server that responds to requests for files by name. The operands that it accepts are:
- -d debug_level
-
This is used to increase the level of messages written to the log file.
- -l number_of_lwps
-
This operand is used to specify how many lwps will be used to answer file requests. Default: 2.
- -p prefix
-
This name, prefixed to all file requests, is used to limit the files that can be requested.
- -port listen_port
-
This is the UDP port on which we should be listening. If not specified updatesrv will use a random port.
EXAMPLES
The command updatesrv -s -p / would invoke the updatesrv process and cause the files to be served relative to / on the server machine.
The command updatesrv -s -p /vice/bin would cause the files to be served relative to /vice/bin on the server machine.
DIAGNOSTICS
The UpdateLog file will contain useful information. Issuing a kill -TSTP signal to a running updatesrv will increase the level of debugging messages. The debugging messages can be turned off by issuing a kill -HUP signal. This will also cause the log file to no longer be written.
FILES
- UpdateLog
-
This log of the messages from updatesrv is kept in the directory specified by the -p operand on the invocation. This log file is only written when debugging is enabled.
- pid
-
This file contains the pid of the updatesrv process. It is kept in the directory specified on the -p operand on invocation of the command.
BUGS
It does not yet use any password authentication to stop others from using it to fetch files from servers.
