# ace\_netsvcs(1)

ACE network services driver.

## 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  service 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::daemonize().

- **-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.
