Revision 9809, 2.3 KB checked in by ghudson, 28 years ago (diff)
Move attachtab and the attach temporary files to /var/athena. Note that the attach temporary files were previously incorrectly documented as being /tmp/attach.<filesystem> instead of /tmp/attach_<filesystem>.

8.SH NAME
9zinit \- zephyr login initialization program
10.SH SYNOPSIS
11.B zinit
12[-a] [-d] [-m] [-q] [-v]
13.SH DESCRIPTION
14.I Zinit
15is normally executed automatically \fIzwgc(1)\fR.  It reads through
16\fIattachtab\fR(5) to determine which filesystems have been
17attached on that workstation, and subscribes the user to the
18appropriate Zephyr instances so that he or she will receive
19messages from Athena Operations regarding the filesystems'
20fileservers.
21
22\fIZinit\fR subscribes to class \fBFILSRV\fR, instances \fIservername\fR and
23\fIservername\fR:\fIfilesystem\fR or \fIservername\fR:\fIpathname\fR for remote
24NFS and RVD filesystems found in attachtab, where \fIservername\fR is the
25name of the machine providing the file service.  For type AFS filesystems,
26instances afs:\fIcell\fR:\fIvolume\fR and afs:\fIcell\fR are subscribed to,
27where \fIcell\fR and \fIvolume\fR are the cell and volume names of the
28root of the filesystem.  In addition, if the root of an AFS filesystem is
29not replicated on multiple servers, instance afs:\fIservername\fB is
30subscribed to.
31
32By default, only messages about
33filesystems attached by the user running attach or root are subscribed to.
34The
35.B \-a
36option selects all remote filesystems, while
37.B \-m
38selects only those attached by the user.
39.BR \-q ,
40.BR \-d ,
41and
42.B  \-v
43have the same meaning as in \fIattach(1)\fR.
44
45.SH NOTE
46The programs \fIattach(1)\fR, \fIdetach(1)\fR, \fInfsid(1)\fR, and
47\fIzinit(8)\fR are all really the same program.  Typically
48\fIdetach(1)\fR, \fInfsid(1)\fR and \fIzinit(8)\fR are links to
49\fIattach\fR.  Argv[0] is used to determine which one of the four
50programs are run.  This may be overridden by specifying -P
51\fIprogname\fR, where \fIprogname\fR should be one of the above four
52program names.
