NAME
       ipnadminep - administrative endpoint task for the IPN scheme

SYNOPSIS
       ipnadminep

DESCRIPTION
       ipnadminep is a background "daemon" task that receives and processes administrative bundles (all custody signals and, nominally, all bundle
       status reports) that are sent to the IPN-scheme administrative endpoint on the local ION node, if and only if such an endpoint was
       established by bpadmin.	It is spawned automatically by bpadmin in response to the 's' (START) command that starts operation of Bundle
       Protocol on the local ION node, and it is terminated by bpadmin in response to an 'x' (STOP) command.  ipnadminep can also be spawned and
       terminated in response to START and STOP commands that pertain specifically to the IPN scheme.

       ipnadminep responds to custody signals as specified in the Bundle Protocol specification, RFC 5050.  It responds to bundle status reports
       by logging ASCII text messages describing the reported activity.

EXIT STATUS
       0   ipnadminep terminated, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  If this termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the problem
	   identified in the log file and use bpadmin to restart ipnadminep.

       1   ipnadminep was unable to attach to Bundle Protocol operations or was unable to load the IPN scheme database, probably because bpadmin
	   has not yet been run.

FILES
       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT
       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file:

       ipnadminep can't attach to BP.
	   bpadmin has not yet initialized BP operations.

       ipnadminep can't load routing database.
	   ipnadmin has not yet initialized the IPN scheme.

       ipnadminep crashed.
	   An unrecoverable database error was encountered.  ipnadminep terminates.
