NAME¶
mopd —
MOP Loader Daemon
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
mopd services MOP Load requests on the Ethernet connected to
interface or all interfaces if
‘
-a’ is given. In a load request received by
mopd a filename can be given. This is the normal case for
e.g. terminal servers. If a filename isn't given
mopd must
know what image to load.
Upon receiving a request,
mopd checks if the requested file
exists in
/srv/tftp/mop, the filename is normally uppercase
and with an extension of
.SYS. If the filename isn't given,
the ethernet address (in lower case, apart from the .SYS) of the target is
used as the filename, e.g.
08002b09f4de.SYS and it might be
a soft link to another file.
mopd supports two kinds of files. The first type that is check
is if the file is in
a.out(5) format. If not, a couple of
Digital's formats are checked.
In normal operation,
mopd forks a copy of itself and runs in
the background. Anomalies and errors are reported via
syslog(3).
OPTIONS¶

process will run in the foreground.

- Run in the foreground.
