cs - connect stream control

cs displays, initiates, and terminates connect stream services, and displays the contents of connect stream message files. If no options are spcified then the connect stream for path is opened. If the corresponding service is not running then it is initiated and the connection is attempted again. If command is specified then it is executed with the standard input, standard output and standard error redirected to the path connect stream. If command is omitted then the /dev/ equivalent path for the connect stream is listed on the standard output.

-a, --attribute=name

List the attribute name for each host. If name is - then all attributes are listed. The hostname attribute is listed without a label, all other attributes are listed as label=value

-c, --cat

Catenate messages in the named path operands. If path is omitted then the standard input is read.

-d, --debug=level

Set the debug trace level to level. Higher levels produce more output.

-f, --continuous

Used with --cat to list messages on a path or standard input that is continuously updated.

-h, --hostenvironment

Lists HOSTNAME=name HOSTTYPE=type on the standard output for the named host operand or the local host if host is omitted. This is useful for .profile initialization.

-i, --interactive

Open an interactive connection to the connect stream. The service is initiated if it is not already running.

-k, --kill=signal

Send signal to the server on the connect stream named by path. signal may be a signal name or signal number.

-l, --list

List the active connect stream services on the standard output.

-m, --mount

List the active connect stream mount directories on the standard output.

-p, --process

List the active connect stream process ids on the standard output.

-q, --query

Open an interactive connection to the connect stream if a service is already running; fail otherwise.

-r, --raw

Raw mode --interactive connection.

-s, --iservice

List details for each active connect stream service on the standard output. The output format is similar to an ls(1) --long listing, except the size field is the tcp or udp port number, and the service base name appears as a symbolic link to the network /proc path for the service process.

-t, --translate

host name operands are translated to IP address dot notation and listed on the standard output. If host is omitted then the standard input is read for host names, one per line.

-C, --call=call-list

Used with --cat to list only messages for the calls in call-list.

-O, --open-flags=flags

Set optional csopen(3) flags. Used by the cs(3) library to initiate remote connections.

-T, --terse=call-list

Used with --cat to list terse messages for the calls in call-list

Static information for hosts in the local network is in the file ../share/lib/cs/local on $PATH. Each line in the local file provides information for a single host. The syntax is: host-name [ attribute=value ... ]. Attributes for the host local are inherited by all hosts. Locally administered attributes may be added. attribute with predefined semantics are:

addr

The host IP address in dot notation.

bias

The coshell(1) multiplies the host load by bias to prioritize host availability. bias > 1 makes the host less likely to be chosen.

busy

coshell(1) jobs running on a host that has remained busy for this amount of time are suspended until the host returns to idle status.

cpu

The number of cpus on the host as reported by package(1).

idle

The minimum interactive user idle time before coshell(1) will schedule a job on the host.

pool

The coshell(1) attempts to keep pool host connections active.

rating

The host rating as reported by package(1).

type

The host type as reported by package(1).

../share/lib/cs/local

Local host info list on $PATH.

../share/lib/ss/host

Host status files on $PATH.
