NAME

       ace_netsvcs -- ACE network services driver.

SYNOPSIS

       ace_netsvcs [OPTION ...]

DESCRIPTION

       ace_netsvcs  is a driver to start ACE network services. Currently, libnetsvcs provides: Naming Service, Time Service, Token Service, Server
       Logging Service, Client Logging Service, Logging Strategy Service.

OPTIONS

       -f svc.conf
		 Specifies a svc.conf configuration file name other than the default one. Can be specified multiple times to use multiple files.

       -d	 Turn on debugging mode.

       -n	 Explicitly disables the use of static services. This flag overrides the @a ignore_static_svcs parameter value.

       -p pathname
		 Specifies a pathname which is used to store the process id.

       -s signal Specifies a signal number other than SIGHUP to trigger reprocessing of the configuration file(s). Ignored for platforms  that	do
		 not have POSIX signals, such as Windows.

       -y	 Explicitly enables the use of static services. This flag overrides the @a ignore_static_svcs parameter value.

       -S directive
		 Specifies  a service directive string.  Enclose the string in quotes and escape any embedded quotes with a backslash. This option
		 specifies service directives without the need for a configuration file.

       -b	 Option to indicate that we should be a daemon. Note that when this option is used, the process will be daemonized before the ser-
		 vice configuration file(s) are read. During daemonization, (on POSIX systems) the current directory will be changed to "/" so the
		 caller should either fully specify the file names, or execute a @c  chroot()  to  the	appropriate  directory.   @sa  ACE::daemo-
		 nize().

       -k point  Specifies the rendezvous point to use for the ACE distributed logger.

EXAMPLES

       ace_netsvcs -f /usr/share/ace-netsvcs/svc.conf
		 Starts ACE network services using example configuration.

       ace_netsvcs -S 'dynamic Name_Server Service_Object * netsvcs:_make_ACE_Name_Acceptor() "-p 20006"'
		 Starts ACE Naming service using command line configuration.
