NAME
       berkeley_db5.3_svc - Berkeley DB RPC server

SYNOPSIS
       berkeley_db5.3_svc [-Vv] [-h home] [-I seconds] [-L file] [-t seconds] [-T seconds]

DESCRIPTION
       The berkeley_db5.3_svc utility is the Berkeley DB RPC server.

OPTIONS
       -h     Add  the  specified home directory to the list of allowed home directories that can
              be specified by the client.  The home directory should  be  an  absolute  pathname.
              The  last component of each home directory specified must be unique because that is
              how clients specify which database environment they want to join.

              Recovery will be run on each specified environment before the server begins accept‐
              ing  requests  from  clients.  For this reason, only one copy of the server program
              should ever be run at any time because recovery must always be single-threaded.

       -I     Set the default idle timeout for client environments to  the  specified  number  of
              seconds.  The default timeout is 24 hours.

       -L     Log  the  execution  of the berkeley_db5.3_svc utility to the specified file in the
              following format, where ### is the process ID, and the date is the time the utility
              was started.

              berkeley_db5.3_svc: ### Wed Jun 15 01:23:45 EDT 1995

              This file will be removed if the berkeley_db5.3_svc utility exits gracefully.

       -t     Set the default timeout for client resources (idle transactions and cursors) to the
              specified number of seconds.  When the timeout expires, if the resource is a trans‐
              action,  it  is  aborted;  if  the resource is a cursor, it is closed.  The default
              timeout is 5 minutes.

       -T     Set the maximum timeout allowed for client resources.  The default  timeout  is  20
              minutes.   If a client application requests a server timeout greater than the maxi‐
              mum timeout set for this server, the client's timeout will be capped at the maximum
              timeout value.

       -V     Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.

       -v     Run in verbose mode.

       The berkeley_db5.3_svc utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
       DB_HOME
              If  the  -h option is not specified and the environment variable DB_HOME is set, it
              is used as the path of the database home, as described in DB_ENV->open.
