 NAME

   cdsd - Restarts the CDS server

 SYNOPSIS

   cdsd [-a] [-D] [-l principal] [-w route]

 ARGUMENTS

   -a        Creates a new namespace if there is not an existing
             namespace.  This flag is meaningful only when the cell
             is first configured (that is, the initial creation of
             the namespace).

   -D        For debugging use only.

   -l principal
             Locksmith mode. Allows the principal specified to have
             full access to all information stored with this server.

   -w route  Routes serviceability messages.

 DESCRIPTION

   The cdsd command restarts the CDS server.  This command starts the
   CDS server process automatically whenever the host system is
   rebooted.

   Privilege Required

   Your UIC must be 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 if you want to do diagnostic work on
   the host system.

 EXAMPLE

   To restart a server, follow these steps:

    1.  Log in to the server system and set your UIC to DCE$SERVER.

    2.  Log into 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 mystic whose
        password is smith:

             $ dce_login hosts/mystic/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 see if the cdsadv process is
        already running:

             $ show system

        If the cdsadv process appears on the list of active processes,
        proceed to step 5.  If the cdsadv process does not appear on
        the list of active processes, enter the following command to
        start the process:

             $ run sys$system:dce$cdsadver

    5.  Enter the following command to restart the server:

             $ run sys$system:dce$cdsd

   When the server process starts, it starts all clearinghouses on the
   system.
