DESCRIPTION
     The server command runs a program with an identity of user "user" and
     group "server" just as if the command had been started using the Display
     Manager's cps command.  It also marks the new process in such a way that
     the server program will not be terminated by the Display Manager when the
     user logs out.

     In addition to allowing users to start server processes, this command is
     useful for killing servers that are running with the identity
     user.server.  For example,

     $ /etc/server /bin/kill -9 1532


OPTIONS
     -p        The -p option preserves the current SID of the person issuing
               the command.  Otherwise, /etc/server sets the SID to
               user.server.none for the command.
