host start

host start [host_name]

Description
The host start operation starts all DCE processes on the specified host. This command depends on dced being running on the specified host, that is, it may not be used to start DCE on a pre-1.1 machine. The processes that are started are all those listed in the server configuration data stored in the dced on the specified host with the boot or explicit values of the starton attribute. You can add servers to the server configuration data by using the server create command. The host configure command adds certain servers to the configuration data automatically.

The host_name argument is the fully-qualified or cell-relative name of the host to operate on, as in the following:

/.:/ hosts/hostname

/hosts/hostname

Without the host_name argument, dced is started on the local host first, which requires the appropriate local permissions (usually root). If a host name is specified, dced must be running on that host. Before starting any host, make sure that a security server and a CDS server are both running somewhere in the cell. This operation returns an empty string on success.

Privileges Required
You must have x (execute) permission to the config/srvrconf container object on the specified host.

Examples
The following example starts all DCE processes on host hydra:

dcecp> host start hosts/hydra
{dced running}
{cdsd running}
{dcsadv running}
{secd running master}
{auditd not running}
{dtsd running clerk}
dcecp>
