BERKELEY_DB5.3_SVC(1)                  General Commands Manual                 BERKELEY_DB5.3_SVC(1)

NAME
       berkeley_db5.3_svc - Berkeley DB RPC server

SYNOPSIS
       berkeley_db5.3_svc [-Vv] [-h home] [-I seconds] [-L file] [-t seconds] [-T seconds]

DESCRIPTION
       The berkeley_db5.3_svc utility is the Berkeley DB RPC server.

OPTIONS
       -h     Add  the  specified home directory to the list of allowed home directories that can be
              specified by the client.  The home directory should be an absolute pathname.  The last
              component of each home directory specified must be unique because that is how  clients
              specify which database environment they want to join.

              Recovery  will be run on each specified environment before the server begins accepting
              requests from clients.  For this reason, only one copy of the  server  program  should
              ever be run at any time because recovery must always be single-threaded.

       -I     Set  the  default idle timeout for client environments to the specified number of sec‐
              onds.  The default timeout is 24 hours.

       -L     Log the execution of the berkeley_db5.3_svc utility to the specified file in the  fol‐
              lowing  format,  where ### is the process ID, and the date is the time the utility was
              started.

              berkeley_db5.3_svc: ### Wed Jun 15 01:23:45 EDT 1995

              This file will be removed if the berkeley_db5.3_svc utility exits gracefully.

       -t     Set the default timeout for client resources (idle transactions and  cursors)  to  the
              specified  number of seconds.  When the timeout expires, if the resource is a transac‐
              tion, it is aborted; if the resource is a cursor, it is closed.  The  default  timeout
              is 5 minutes.

       -T     Set  the maximum timeout allowed for client resources.  The default timeout is 20 min‐
              utes.  If a client application requests a server  timeout  greater  than  the  maximum
              timeout  set for this server, the client's timeout will be capped at the maximum time‐
              out value.

       -V     Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.

       -v     Run in verbose mode.

       The berkeley_db5.3_svc utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
       DB_HOME
              If the -h option is not specified and the environment variable DB_HOME is set,  it  is
              used as the path of the database home, as described in DB_ENV->open.
