Syntax
/etc/ncs/nrglbd [ -version ]
Description
The global location broker (GLB), enables clients to locate servers on
a network or internet. The GLB database stores the locations (that is,
the network addresses and port numbers) where server processes are run‐
ning. The GLB maintains this database and provides access to it.
The daemon should run as a background process. It requires no options
or arguments. A Local Location Broker daemon ( ) must be running on
the local host when is started.
You can run only one on a network or internet.
On ULTRIX systems, is typically started by a line in such as the fol‐
lowing:
/etc/ncs/nrglbd& echo -n ' nrglbd' > /dev/console
Options-version Display the version of the Network Computing Kernel (NCK)
that this belongs to but do not start the daemon. (NCK is
part of the Network Computing System (NCS) on which DECrpc is
based.)
Restrictions
This section discusses the procedure to follow if the system running
the is taken off-line.
If you restart on the same system and no server on any other system
changed state, all things should run as before. If, however, an appli‐
cation tries to contact a server that is no longer running or which has
different port numbers, the application will fail. The application
also will not see any new server registrations.
If a copy of is not available, you must create an up to date version of
the file before restarting To do so, use to query the for registration
data on every system running an DECrpcserver and then use to register
all DECrpc servers with the GLB on the new host. Then restart
