SET SERVER Command
All other SERVER object attributes describe both Guardian and OSS server
processes. For information about configuration limits, also see Appendix C,
Configuration Limits and Defaults.
PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN | OSS
specifies the type of servers in the server class.
If you omit this attribute, the default is GUARDIAN.
All attributes specified for a server class must be consistent with the type specified
in this attribute. Therefore, HP recommends that you set this attribute first, before
setting other attributes.
This attribute is required for all OSS server processes.
ARGLIST argument
specifies a Open System Services (OSS) startup argument list, which is a list of
strings separated by commas that is made available to OSS server processes in
the argv[] array.
You can specify from 2 to 24,000 characters for the ARGLIST attribute; a null string
is valid. The length of the specified string is calculated as the number of bytes of
storage needed, in other words, the length after quotes (described below) have
been removed and a null byte added for each argument. However, the combined
total (storage) length of the values set for ARGLIST and ENV must not exceed
24,000 characters.
The program name that is automatically passed as the first argument (argv[0])
does not need to be specified by the user, nor is it included in the 24,000 character
maximum.
If you omit this attribute, the default is an empty argument list.
If an argument includes blanks, quotes, commas, or semicolons, use the same
rules as those for presenting names and values in PATHCOM; in other words,
enclose the entire argument in quotes. For example, to specify these arguments:
arg 1
"Argument2"
argument3
argument "4"
GUARDIAN All servers in this server class are Guardian processes.
OSS All servers in this server class are OSS processes.
Caution. Neither PATHCOM nor the PATHMON process check for escape sequences in an
argument list. If escape sequences or other nonprintable characters are included in an
argument list, they are passed as input to PATHMON and unexpected results might occur. HP
recommends that all characters specified for the ARGLIST attribute be ASCII printable. To
specify escape sequences in an argument list, HP recommends that you use the SPI
management programming interface; see the TS/MP Management Programming Manual.
