URLib Service
Version 2.1

Gerald J. F. Banon

Starting the URLib Service

To start the URLib Service, execute the following commands.

On Windows 95:
cd C:\URLib_path\col\dpi.inpe.br\banon\1998\08.02.08.56\doc
C:\URLib_path\col\dpi.inpe.br\banon\2000\07.11.18.24\doc\bin\wish83.exe start

On UNIX:
cd /URLib_path/col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1998/08.02.08.56/doc
start &

Where <URLib_path> is the path defined at installation time and is, for example, of the form: <user\name\URLib> on Windows 95 and <user/name/URLib> on UNIX.

Posting the URLib local collection

Starting the URLib Service automatically posts the URLib local collection.

If you want to post the URLib local collection without starting the URLib Service, execute the following command.

On Windows 95:
cd C:\URLib_path\col\dpi.inpe.br\banon\1998\08.02.08.56\doc
C:\URLib_path\col\dpi.inpe.br\banon\2000\07.11.18.24\doc\bin\wish83.exe post

On UNIX:
cd /URLib_path/col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1998/08.02.08.56/doc
post &

The post command is specially useful to implement the URLib local collection posting at boot time.

Here is an example of a script for UNIX to be ran as boot time.

#!/sbin/sh
#
# This script posts the URLib collection /home/dpi/URLib/col
# at boot time.
#
# This script should be store in a file placed under the
# /etc/rc2.d directory (or similar) and named,
# for example: S98URLibServer
#
# If this script is launch by Root, then Root and the user
# should be of the same group.
#

cd /home/dpi/URLib/col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1998/08.02.08.56/doc
./post &

# end of script

To unpost the URLib local collection , execute the following command.

On Windows 95:
cd C:\URLib_path\col\dpi.inpe.br\banon\1998\08.02.08.56\doc
C:\URLib_path\col\dpi.inpe.br\banon\2000\07.11.18.24\doc\bin\wish83.exe post -- -x

On UNIX:
cd /URLib_path/col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1998/08.02.08.56/doc
post -- -x &

Once the URLib local collection has been posted, it is not necessary to unpost it to start the URLib Service. You can execute the above start command right away.
