XTNETSERV(8)

NAME

xtnetserv - remote server process

SYNOPSIS

xtnetserv

DESCRIPTION

xtnetserv is the remote server process for the GNUspool spooler and document management system. It serves 3 purposes; firstly it accepts
jobs from other hosts submitted by gspl-rpr(1), secondly it accepts jobs and administration requests from DOS and Windows machines, and
finally it supports API operations.

It is normally invoked by gspl-start(1).

Information, in respect of other machines to connect to is read from
the file gnuspool.hosts.

FILES

ENVIRONMENT

SPOOLDIR
alternative location for spool directory
SPHELPDIR

INTERNET PORTS

xtnetserv uses 2 ports:
gsnetsrv
(N.B. no second "e") to accept incoming jobs on TCP from gspl-rpr(1), and on UDP from the DOS/Windows interface, and 2 further ports

gspoolapi
to communicate with the API library.
The port numbers are set up in the /etc/services file when GNUspool is first installed.

SEE ALSO

gspl-rpr(1), gspl-start(1), gspl-stop(1), gnuspool.conf(5), gnuspool.hosts(5), spshed(8).

DIAGNOSTICS

xtnetserv runs as a "daemon process" and diagnostics, apart from those detected when it is first started, are not usually written to any
terminal but to the file spshed_reps in the spool directory.

In the event of any problems this file should be examined.
