Abstract
DART Bootstrap Services (DBS) is the first component of run-control for the
DART data acquisition system, though it has potential usefulness as a tool in
other applications.
DBS is an rlogin session multiplexer. It allows a user, running a single program,
to start up any number of remote login sessions, feed shell commands to them,
and collect the output from the sessions into one or more logfiles.
From DBS, a user can issue commands to these rlogin sessions in one of
two ways: either by issuing a DBS command with arguments indicating the session
and the actual command, or by first attaching to a session and then issuing the
command directly. In the latter case, a user is attached to the session
interactively so it appears just like an rlogin session - DBS becomes
transparent. When finished with this interactive mode, the user can escape
back to dbs and attach to a different session if so desired. The basic commands
allow for creating sessions on remote nodes, issuing commands within a session
without attaching to it, attaching to a session, and stopping all processes
within a session. The program can be driven by commands from a file.
