29.2 Using the Registry Editor
Although you can use the DCE control program to maintain the network-wide registry,
you can only use the registry editor to maintain the local registries located on the hosts in
a cell.
The following subsections explain how to start, stop, and get help for the registry editor
and describe the commands to use for local registry maintenance. Specific instructions
for using the registry editor to maintain the local registry are given in Chapters 30 and
31.
For detailed descriptions of all of the registry editor commands, see the rgy_edit(8sec)
reference page.
29.2.1 Starting, Stopping, and Getting Help
The registry editor runs in two modes: interactive and command line. In interactive
mode, the control program prompts you for the information that it needs. In command-
line mode, you enter all of the information that the control program needs on the
command line. In command-line mode, you can perform only one operation at a time;
however, you may find command-line mode useful for creating shell scripts that execute
a sequence of registry editor commands. Most of the examples in this guide are in
interactive mode. (See the rgy_edit(8sec) reference page for information on how to
invoke and use the registry editor in command-line mode.)
To start the registry editor in interactive mode, enter the following command:
$ dceshared/bin/rgy_edit
The registry editor responds by displaying the name of the current registry site and the
rgy_edit=> prompt, as follows:
Current site is:
registry server at /.../bayre.com/subsys/dce/sec/master
rgy_edit=>
If the name service is unable to provide the name, the output is shortened. For example,
