nucsapd(1M) nucsapd(1M)
NAME
nucsapd - NetWare service advertising protocol compatibility
daemon
SYNOPSIS
nucsapd server_type# ...
DESCRIPTION
If the nwcm(1M) sap_file_compatibility parameter is set to on,
the npsd(1M) daemon starts nucsapd to maintain two
directories, /var/spool/sap/in and /var/spool/sap/out, for
compatibility with UnixWare 1.x applications.
The two directories contain server information tables managed
by nucsapd. There is a separate file in the /var/spool/sap/in
directory for each server type on which nucsapd is maintaining
information. Each file contains name, network address, and
service information for every server of that type on the
network. Likewise, files contained in the /var/spool/sap/out
directory represent local service types advertised by sapd for
the local system.
The parameter server_type# specifies the type of server to
maintain information on in the directory /var/spool/sap/in.
Several server_type# options can be used at once.
nucsapd accepts the SIGHUP and SIGALRM signals. SIGHUP causes
nucsapd to reread /var/spool/sap/out files and notify sapd to
advertise any new local services. SIGALRM is used to
periodically update the /var/spool/sap/in files. The formula
(lan_1_sap_bcast_intervals * 30seconds) is used to determine
how often the files are updated. The default value for the
nwcm lan_1_sap_bcast_intervals parameter is 2; thus, the
default interval is 60 seconds.
