NAME

   gdnc - GNUstep Distributed Notification Center

SYNOPSIS

   gdnc

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).

   Every user needs to have his own instance of gdnc running.  While  gdnc
   will  be  started  automatically  as  soon  as  it  is  needed,  it  is
   recommended to start 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 gdnc from your .xinitrc script or alternatively - if
   you  are  running  Window  Maker  -  put it in Window Maker's autostart
   script.  See the GNUstep Build Guide for a sample startup script.

OPTIONS

   To attach gdnc to a remote session use the

   -NSHost hostname
          argument.

   To run a copy of the server to handle public  notifications  (available
   to all users on the local machine)

   -GSPublic YES

   To  run  a  copy  of  the server to handle network-public notifications
   (available to all users able to connect to the  local  machine  on  the
   network)

   -GSNetwork YES

DIAGNOSTICS

   gdomap  -L GDNCServer will lookup instances of gdnc which were launched
   with the NSHost, GSPublic, or GSNetwork command line arguments.

   Alternatively, gdomap -N will list all registered names  on  the  local
   host.
