NAME

       nsrcpd - daemon providing remote client software installation services

SYNOPSIS

       nsrcpd [ -d debug-level ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  nsrcpd daemon provides an RPC-based remote client software instal-
       lation service.	This service allows users to  distribute  and  upgrade
       client  software	 from  a centralized software repository across a net-
       work.  In addition, users can manage the centralized  software  reposi-
       tory  and  inventory existing NetWorker clients for currently installed
       software.  The RPC program number provided by nsrcpd is 390437.

       Normally, nsrcpd is invoked by nsrd upon receiving a request  to	 start
       up the remote client software installation service and does not need to
       be started directly by a user.

       The main thread for nsrcpd handles all RPC messages  for	 the  service.
       Each time a remote client installation operation begins, nsrcpd creates
       a new session and spawns a new thread to process that  operation.   The
       operation  thread  receives  all data for the session from the main RPC
       thread and handles any user dialogs and processing for  the  operation.
       The  operation  thread  automatically  exits  when a session completes.
       Nsrcpd automatically terminates after it has been idle for a pre-deter-
       mined period.

       Nsrcpd maintains a set of resources reflecting the current set of soft-
       ware products located in the centralized software repository,  as  well
       as  the	current	 set  of  products and packages installed on NetWorker
       clients in the datazone where it is running.  These resources are  man-
       aged during repository, inventory, and upgrade operations.

       When  nsrcpd  is started with the -d <debug level> option, it runs with
       the requested debug level.

OPTIONS

       -d debug-level
	      Instructs nsrcpd to start up in debug mode  with	the  requested
	      debug level.

FILES

		 information about various error conditions that cannot other-
		 wise be logged using the NetWorker event mechanism.
