# obliqsrv(1)

start an Obliq server

## Name

Obliq Server - start an Obliq server

## Syntax

**obliqsrv** \[options\] &

## Description

An Obliq server. The command obliqsrv -X, where "X" is "std" or "ui",  starts netobjd on the local machine M, if needed, and exports an execution engine to it. From any machine M1 one can then issue the Obliq command net\_importEngine("XObliqEngine","M")(p) to execute the  procedure p on machine M, where "X" is either "std" or "ui".  Here M must be an IP address, and p must be a procedure of one arguments. The argument given to p is the IP address of  the server, as a string. The result of p is returned to machine M1. Obliq servers are linked without a parser/printer.

A server has the privileges of the account that starts it.  Every client acquires the privileges of the server while running in the server. A server is not an inherent security risk: a server's operating system and file system are not avaliable to clients, unless the server allows it.

To start an Obliq server on another machine M2, issue the following command:

rsh M2 exec obliqsrv \[options\] &

## Options

- **-std**

  obliq server with standard libraries

- **-ui**
