# lisa(8)

LAN Information Server

## NAME

lisa -  LAN Information Server

## SYNOPSIS

**lisa** \[options\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **lisa** command.

**lisa** is intended to provide a kind of "network neighbourhood" but only relaying on the TCP/IP protocol stack, no smb or whatever. The list of running hosts is provided via TCP port 7741.

## OPTIONS

- **-c, --config=*FILE***

  Read *FILE* instead of $(HOME)/.lisarc and /etc/lisarc.

- **-p, --port** *PORTNR*

  Start the server on the portnumber *PORTNR*. If you use this, LISa won't be able to cooperate with other LISa's in the network.

- **-q, --quiet**

  Start quiet without the greeting message.

- **-u, --unix**

  Deprecated.

- **-k, --kde1**

  Deprecated.

- **-K, --kde2**

  Deprecated.

- **-h, --help**

  Show usage.

- **-v, --version**

  Print out a short version info.

## SIGNALS

If you send the Hangup-Signal to **lisa**, it will reread its configuration file (killall -HUP lisa).

If you send the User1-Signal to **lisa**, it will print some status information to the standard output (killall -USR1 lisa). You won't see  anything if the console from which **lisa** was started has terminated.
