NAME

       cds_intro - Introduction to the CDS commands

DESCRIPTION

       The  DCE  Cell  Directory  Service provides the following management commands: The cdsbrowser command starts the CDS Browser utility.  This
       utility is based on the OSF/Motiftm graphical user interface.  The Browser can display an overall directory structure as well as  show  the
       contents  of  directories.  The cdscp command starts the CDS control program.  Use this command line interface to manage the CDS components
       and the contents of your namespace.

       The following commands are typically started automatically by scripts that execute as part of normal system start-up procedures.   See  the
       reference  pages for these commands before you try to use them.	The cdsadv command starts the advertisement and solicitation daemon on the
       local system and then starts clerks as needed by applications.  Use this command only when troubleshooting because it creates and automati-
       cally  starts  the  CDS	clerk whenever the host system is rebooted.  The cdsd command restarts the CDS server.	Use this command only when
       troubleshooting because it starts the CDS server process automatically whenever the host system is rebooted.  The gdad command  starts  the
       GDA  (Global  Directory	Agent) daemon.	The GDA enables intercell communication, serving as a connection to other cells through the global
       naming environment.  The GDA is typically started automatically by scripts that execute as part of normal system start-up and shutdown pro-
       cedures.
