DESCRIPTION

The ggated utility is a network server for the GEOM Gate class. It runs on a server machine to service GEOM Gate requests from workers placed on a client machine. Keep in mind, that connections between ggatec(8) and ggated are not encrypted.

Available options:

-a address: Specifies an IP address to bind to.
-h: Print available options.
-n: Do not use TCP_NODELAY option on TCP sockets.
-p port: Port on which ggated listens for connections. Default is 3080.
-F pidfile: PID file that ggated uses.
-R rcvbuf: Size of receive buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128kB).
-S sndbuf: Size of send buffer to use. Default is 131072 (128kB).
-v: Do not fork, run in foreground and print debug information on standard output.
exports file: An alternate location for the exports file.

The format of an exports file is as follows:

1.2.3.4		RO	/dev/cd0
1.2.3.0/24	RW	/tmp/test.img
hostname	WO	/tmp/image

FILES

/var/run/ggated.pid: The default location of the ggated PID file.

EXIT STATUS

Exit status is 0 on success, or 1 if the command fails. To get details about the failure, ggated should be called with the -v option.
