Crossroads Load Balancer 2.00 (Default branch)

ImageCrossroads is a daemon running in user space, and features extensive configurability, polling of back ends using wake up calls, status reporting, many algorithms to select the 'right' back end for a request (and user-defined algorithms for very special cases), and much more. Crossroads is service-independent: it is usable for any TCP service, such as HTTP(S), SSH, SMTP, and database connections. In the case of HTTP balancing, Crossroads can provide session stickiness for back end processes that need sessions, but aren't session-aware of other back ends. Crossroads can be run as a stand-alone daemon or via inetd.License: GNU General Public License v3Changes:
This version is a complete rewrite. It is now a multi-threaded program (as opposed to a forking daemon), which greatly enhances performance and decreases system load. The balancer is now configured via the command line (as opposed to a configuration file). This version is beta code until proven in the field. Historic stable 1.xx versions are still available.Image

Name
       uucico - uucp file transfer daemon

Syntax
       /usr/lib/uucp/uucico [ -f ] [ -r1 ] [ -s system ] [ -x# ] [ -X# ]

Description
       The  program  is  the  daemon associated with the utility. The daemon is automatically run when requests are made or when polling occurs as
       specified in It performs the actual file transfer over the network. The program first calls up the destination system and login.   After  a
       successful  login,  a  handshake  takes place between the destination daemon process and the local daemon. The handshake determines if each
       daemon has permission to use the other's local resources. Both daemons then select the protocol that will be used to send and  receive  raw
       data.

       The  local  daemon searches the spool directories for job requests, builds a list of files to transfer, then begins transmitting files. The
       file transfer protocol ensures that each file is transmitted only once and also notifies the user if a file cannot  be  transferred.  After
       the  program transfers all the files, the destination site transfers files back to the local system. When both systems have completed their
       file transfers, the connection through the network is terminated.

       The output of follows the progress of the conversation. Debugging output from the slave is placed in the file in the spool directory at the
       remote site. The output is less meaningful than the unless the source code is available to help interpret the messages.

Options
       -f    Forces to start a conversation with a specified system, regardless of any previous connection status as provided by the files (system
	     status).

       -r1   Puts into the master role. The slave mode is the default.

       -s system
	     Designates the system to be contacted.

       -x#   Sets the debugging level. The number sign (#) can have a value of 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more debugging output. No packet
	     level debugging is printed.

       -X#   Sets  packet  level  debugging  output.  The number sign (#) can have a value of 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more packet level
	     debugging output.
