arise.
The client configuration documentation should include instructions on how to pass the
name to the client. One method uses a script or batch file that contains the command to
start the client along with arguments that include the appropriate server entry name. The
following example shows a server entry name passed as a command argument in a shell
script that starts the client:
# Shell Script to start the InfoClient application
infoclient /.:/finance/operations/InfoServ_profile
Alternatively, the server entry name can be stored in an environment variable (called
RPC_DEFAULT_ENTRY on UNIX systems). The following example shows a shell
script that defines this variable and then invokes the client:
#! /bin/sh
# Shell Script to start the InfoClient application
export RPC_DEFAULT_ENTRY=/.:/finance/operations/InfoServ_profile
infoclient
