NAME
mslaved - MandelSpawn computation server
SYNOPSIS
mslaved
[
-t
timeout ] [
-n
niceval ]
DESCRIPTION
mslaved
is the computation server daemon for MandelSpawn (see
xms (1)
and
bms(1)).
It accepts requests for calculating rectangles of pixels on its
standard input, which should be a datagram socket.
Normally mslaved is started on demand
by
inetd(8C);
it may also be started manually using
mslavedc(8),
as in
mslavedc ./mslaved
To spawn
mslaved
processes on multiple machines, use
enslave(1).
Note that
mslaved
can not be started directly from the shell without using
mslavedc
or
enslave.
The -n option specifies a nice value; if no -n option
is present, nice 10 will be used. Use -n0 for no nice.
The -t option specifies a timeout: mslaved will exit
if no calculation requests are
received within the given number of seconds. The default
timeout is 60 seconds, -t0 means never time out.
