NAME
msgbserv - server to lock/unlock cluster nodes

SYNOPSIS
msgbserv [-port socket-portno]

DESCRIPTION
msgbserv keeps track of the cluster status so cluster users may occupy cluster nodes exclusively.

The options available for msgbserv:

-port socket-portno
Specifies the socket port number for accepting lock requests. The default port number is 8765

When a host requesting a lock crashes, the server fails to release the lock. In this case, sending SIGHUP to the server resets the server status.

The client program, msgb(1), should be used to display the lock status of nodes.

BUGS
Sending SIGHUP to the msgbserv process simply resets it even if some clients are currently locking some nodes.
