rdm-tfs

Remote Transactional File Server

Synopsis

rdm-tfs [OPTIONS]... [input_file [arg]... ]

Description

The Transactional File Server (TFS) utility instantiates a TFS that can be accessed by one or more remote clients using either TCP/IP protocol or shared-memory protocol. If both are enabled, they can be used simultaneously by different client sessions. rdm-tfs may run on the same computer as a runtime, or on a different computer, provided the different computer's domain name is visible to the runtime through TCP/IP.

rdm-tfs may be installed as a Windows service, or started as a daemon process. To determine if rdm-tfs is already running, use the --query option (the --query option will work whether rdm-tfs has been started in the foreground or background).

On Windows, you may install rdm-tfs as a service that will run automatically by using the --install option. The PATH must list the fully qualified path to the rdm-tfs utility, or to the directory in which it resides. All required DLLs must reside either in the same directory as rdm-tfs. This option requires administrative privilege. To stop/start the rdm-tfs service, use the Windows service control manager.

When this utility is run as a foreground process, it may be cleanly terminated by issuing SIGINT (normally Ctrl-C from the keyboard). SIGTERM has the same effect. If the utility does not terminate immediately it will be terminated immediately (cleanly or not) upon the third signal.

If a string or invalid port number is specified it will be used as the server name and the TCP/IP transport will not be initialized. (See name)
