Getting a script to find another script via lookup service
Hi, I'm trying to write a basic script which will measure throughput at a node on a network, and pass the results on to a manager script (running on another node on the same network). I presume that I need to use some sort of naming service, so that the manager can publish its location. From what I can find on google, ypserv/bind might be what I need, but I'm really not sure where to start. All the tutorials I've come across are about maintaining user accounts. If anyone could just point me in the right direction, I be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

If the manager script is always on the same node, why not just use /etc/hosts?

Yeah, I could do it like that. My thinking was that it would be better style of design not to use hard-coded values, but I suppose that using a lookup service would introduce uneccessary network traffic, so I think I'll take your advice. Cheers
