latd.conf

LATD.CONF(5)							File Formats Manual						      LATD.CONF(5)

NAME

       latd.conf - LAT configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/latd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/latd.conf is a shell script (run by /bin/sh) that is run when latd is started up using the latcp -s command.
       It contains commands used to customise lat for your site and usually consists of a list of latcp commands.
       latd.conf is run with a minimal PATH and a minimal environment. The variable $LATCP points to the latcp binary used to invoke the script.

   EXAMPLE
	  # /etc/latd.conf
	  # This is a sample configuration file for latd
	  # it is run as s shell script from latcp -s with a minimal
	  # environment and PATH. latcp should be invoked using the
	  # environment variable $LATCP.
	  #
	  # You can fiddle with all the latd parameters you like in here,
	  # the first service announcement will not be made until this
	  # script completes.
	  #

	  # Set the multicast timeout to 30 seconds
	  $LATCP -m 30

	  # Add another login service
	  $LATCP -A -a ZAPHOD -r 100

	  # Add a queued reverse LAT service to a printer on a DECserver
	  $LATCP -A -p /dev/lat/printer -Hdecserver -Vdecserver -Q

	  # Only advertise our service in groups 1-10 and 200
	  $LATCP -G 1-10,200

	  exit
