TMANAGER(1L) Misc. Reference Manual Pages TMANAGER(1L) NAME tmanager - Tuple Space Manager(daemon) SYNOPSIS tmanager [ -n netfile ] ------- DESCRIPTION tmanager is the network daemon that provides the tuple space illusion to the user processes. OPTIONS -n netfile ------- The networks list is located in the file named netfile ------- If a netfile is not provided, only the network on which ------- the machine resides is used. The netfile is a file ------- that contains in each line the name of the network and the address of that network in the format xx.xx.xx.xx. An entry can be commented out if you precede the network's name with a !. EXAMPLES example% tmanager -n mynets FILES ~/.netfile, ./.netfile SEE ALSO NodeFile(1L), startup(1L), system(1L), posybl(1L). BUGS (Some call them features) The network file should contain the addresses of the net- works on which the issue command should be issued. But since we cannot broadcast from a node of one network to another network what should contain is the adresses of all the nodes on which we want broadcast. Another problem that exists is that if a machine is connected in more than one networks it can participate only in POSYBL programs from one of them since the broadcasting of the templates is done only to the network that is the corresponds to the first address of the machine. Unfortunately, it is quite common in our environ- ment to have a machine connected to two Ethernets since we connect two Ethernet segments by using a gateway rather than an Ethernet tranceiver.
