Otherwise, it returns "no" (with a -return error code of 0). If -n is specified, the number of matches is -returned instead (both to stdout and in the returned error code). If --v is specified, each access point is displayed to stdout instead of -the number of matches. - - -By default, xpaaccess simply contacts the xpans name server to find -the list of registered access points that match the specified -template. It also checks to make sure the specified types are -supported by that access point. This is the fastest way to determine -available access points. However, an access point might registered but -not yet available, if, for example, the server program has not entered -its event loop to process XPA requests. To find access points that are -guaranteed to be available for processing, use the -c (contact) -switch. With this switch, xpaaccess contacts each matching XPA server -(rather than the name server) to make sure the registered access point -really is ready for processing. In this mode, if an access point is -registered but not available, xpaaccess will pause for a period of -time equal to the XPA_LONG_TIMEOUT, in order to give the server a -chance to ready itself. By default, this timeout is 30 seconds. You -can shorten the time of delay using the -t "short,long" switch. For -example, to shorten the delay time to 2 seconds, use: - - xpaaccess -c -t "2,2" ds9 - -The first argument is the short delay value, and is ignored in this -operation. The second is the long delay timeout. - - -Note also that the default xpaaccess method (no -c switch) does not -check access control (acls) but rather only checks whether the access -point is both registered with the xpans name server and provides the -specified type of access. In other words, the default xpaaccess could -return 'yes' when you might not actually have access. This mode also -always returns 'yes' for the xpans name server itself, regardless of -whether the name server is active. The -c (contact) switch, which -contacts the access point directly, can and does check the access -control (only for servers using version 2.1 and above) and also -returns the real status of xpans. - - - -=head1 SEE ALSO - - - -See xpa(n) for a list of XPA help pages - - - -=cut |
