Description

Cssws is the server process for the WinCss graphical interface program. Typically it is invoked at system startup through /etc/rc(4) or /etc/inittab(4). Configuration details may be found at WinCss(C).

Options

-i	This option must be set, if cssws runs under the control of the inetd(1) super server.
-p port	Defines the TCP/IP port number to be used. The default value is 6801, or the value defined in the WINCSS_PORT parameter of css.default(C).
-r secs	Sets the information update refresh rate in seconds. If not set, a default of 5 seconds will be used.

Notes

Normally cssws is started by a standard system service:

/etc/rc

/usr/lib/css/cssws 2>/dev/null 1>&2

Unix System V only

The same service can be established on System V by inserting the following line in /etc/inittab(4):

cssws:1:respawn:/usr/lib/css/cssws 2>/dev/null 1>&2

Internet Super Server (inetd)

Since the Internet Superserver inetd(1) requires to use symbolic service names, you must first edit your /etc/services file and add the line:

cssws 6801/tcp # WinCss server

Then edit the /etc/inetd.conf file and add the lines:

# CSS Service
cssws stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/css/cssws -i
