VMS Help DCE_CDS, cdsadv  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 NAME

   cdsadv - Starts the advertisement and solicitation daemon

 SYNOPSIS

   cdsadv [-c] [-D] [-s] [-w route]

 ARGUMENTS

   -c        Specifies cache size in kilobytes.

   -D        For debugging use only.

   -s        Causes the server not to send or receive advertisements.
             This argument can be used for diagnostic work involving
             multiple servers on the same local area network to limit
             access to those servers identified with the define cached
             server command.

   -w route  Routes serviceability messages.

 DESCRIPTION

   The cdsadv command starts the advertisement and solicitation daemon
   on the local system.

   Privilege Required

   You must log in as DCE$SERVER.

 NOTES

   This command is ordinarily executed by the CDS startup script on the
   system where the CDS server is running.  You should use this command
   interactively only to do diagnostic work on the host system.

 EXAMPLE

   To restart a clerk, enter the following command:

         $ @sys$manager:dce$setup start

   To debug a clerk, follow these steps:

    1.  Log in to the clerk system as DCE$SERVER.

    2.  Log in to DCE as the machine principal of the local host.
        Enter the principal name in the format hosts/hostname/self
        as shown in the following example command for a host named
        orion whose password is smith:

             $ dce_login hosts/orion/self smith

    3.  Enter the following command to see if the dced process is already
        running:

             $ show system

        If the dced process appears on the list of active processes,
        proceed to step 4.  If the dced process does not appear on the
        list of active processes, enter the following command to start
        the process:

             $ run sys$system:dce$dced

    4.  Enter the following command to start the cdsadv process:

             $ run sys$system:dce$cdsadver
