NetIPC itself does not include a call to schedule a peer process. In programs
communicating between multiple HP 3000 systems, you can use the Remote
Process Management (RPM) call, RPMCREATE, to programmatically
schedule program execution. However, RPM between HP 3000 and HP 1000 systems,
and between HP 3000 and HP 9000 systems, is not currently supported by
Hewlett-Packard. Instead, you must manually start up each NetIPC program on
its respective system.
HP 3000 Program Startup
To manually start up an HP 3000 NetIPC program, log on to the HP 3000 and run
the NetIPC program (with the RUN command).
You can schedule the program to start at a particular time by writing a job
file to execute the program, and then including time and date parameters in
the :STREAM command that executes the job file.
HP 1000 Program Startup
To manually start up an HP 1000 NetIPC program, simply logon to the HP 1000
system and run the NetIPC program with the RTE XQ (run program without
wait) command.
To have the NetIPC program execute at system start up, put the RTE XQ
command in the WELCOME file.
HP 9000 Program Startup
Remote HP 9000 processes can be manually started or can be scheduled by
daemons that are started at system start up. In HP-UX a daemon is a process
that runs continuously and usually performs system administrative tasks.
Although a daemon runs continuously, it performs actions either at a specified
time, or upon a specified event.
To manually start up a NetIPC program, simply logon to the HP 9000 system and
run the NetIPC program. HP recommends that you write a NetIPC daemon to
schedule your NetIPC programs. You can start the daemon at start up by
invoking it from the /etc/netlinkrc file. Refer to the NS/ARPA
Services/9000 Series 800 Node Manager's Guide for more information about
this file and system start up.
PC NetIPC Program Startup
To manually start up a PC NetIPC program, enter the NetIPC program name at the
MS-DOS prompt.
To execute from within MS-Windows, copy the NetIPC program files to your
Windows directory and double click the mouse on the executable file.
