DDTSD(1)

     NAME
          ddtsd - ClearDDTS daemon

     SYNOPSIS
          ddtsd

     DESCRIPTION
          ddtsd  is  the  ClearDDTS  system  daemon.  It  is   started
          automatically  by  the  adminbug  emnt  command,  or  can be
          started from a system /etc/rc  file  on  reboot  of  a  UNIX
          system.    Every   30  seconds,  ddtsd  checks  the  various
          ClearDDTS spool directories to see if there is any work  for
          ClearDDTS  to  perform.   If  so, it invokes the appropriate
          process:

          o    If new mail has  arrived  in  the  ddts  mail  box,  it
               invokes mail.in(1) to process the mail.

          o    If there are defect records to process in the  database
               update   spool  directory,  it  invokes  bugs.in(1)  to
               process them.

          o    If there  are  any  defect  records  or  administration
               messages  in  the network traffic spool directory to be
               sent to another machine, it invokes net.out(1) to  send
               them.

          o    If  there   is   notification   mail   about   database
               transactions  to  be  sent, evidenced by records in the
               notification spool directory, it invokes bugmail(1)  to
               send the mail.

          o    If there are network administration commands to execute
               in  the  administration  spool  directory,  it  invokes
               dadmin.in(1) to execute the commands.

          A crontab entry must be set up for ddtsd.  That entry should
          look something like:

               0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/ddts/bin/ddtsd > /dev/null

          where /usr/ddts is the home directory of ddts.

          This ensures that ddtsd is still running every  15  minutes,
          and   that   it   is  restarted  after  every  system  boot.
          Optionally, ddtsd can be added to the system's /etc/rc.local
          file  to  insure  its  restart on reboot. Note that doing so
          requires root priveledges, whereas a crontab entry does not.
