.TH GDNC 1 "August 2003" GNUstep "GNUstep System Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
gdnc \- GNUstep Distributed Notification Center
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B gdnc
|
|
.P
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The gdnc daemon is used by GNUstep programs to send notifications and
|
|
messages to one another. By default it uses private inter-process
|
|
communications accessible only to the curtrent user on the machine on
|
|
which it is running (where the operating system supports them).
|
|
.P
|
|
Every user needs to have his own instance of
|
|
.B gdnc
|
|
running. While
|
|
.B gdnc
|
|
will be started automatically as soon as it is needed,
|
|
it is recommended to start
|
|
.B gdnc
|
|
in a personal login script like ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc.
|
|
Alternatively (if you have no command-line tools which use distributed
|
|
notifications) you can launch gdnc when your windowing system or the
|
|
window manager is started. For example, on systems with X11 you can launch
|
|
.B gdnc
|
|
from your .xinitrc script or alternatively
|
|
- if you are running Window Maker - put it in Window Maker's autostart script.
|
|
See the
|
|
.I GNUstep Build Guide
|
|
for a sample startup script.
|
|
.P
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

|
|
users on the local machine)
|
|
.IP "\fB-GSPublic YES"
|
|
.P
|
|
To run a copy of the server to handle network-public notifications (available
