     ATINIT(1M)	      K-Talk by Xinet (10/14/99 10.1)	    ATINIT(1M)

     NAME
	  atinit - halt, start, or restart AppleTalk services

     SYNOPSIS
	  /usr/etc/appletalk/atinit action

     DESCRIPTION
	  The atinit program manages startup and shutdown of K-Talk
	  AppleTalk services.  It is normally invoked by the server's
	  startup scripts (see the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION HINTS section
	  for details) at system boot time.

	  The action argument may be any one of the following:

	  halt	    stops all AppleTalk servers running on the UNIX
		    system.

	  start	    starts all the servers and commands listed in
		    /usr/etc/appletalk/services (described below).
		    The command atinit start is usually found in the
		    system startup file.  It should be run only at
		    boot time, as it invokes initialization scripts as
		    well as AppleTalk servers.

	  restart   halts all AppleTalk servers, and then starts them
		    again without running initialization scripts or
		    starting utilities that are not AppleTalk servers.

	  The action argument may also be specified in uppercase.
	  Using atinit with no arguments results in an error message.

	  Whenever new AppleTalk services are added, the file
	  /usr/etc/appletalk/services should be edited to include the
	  full pathname of each added AppleTalk server and any
	  arguments required when it is invoked.  atinit will truncate
	  the at_log file when the action is start (but not restart)
	  to keep the log file from getting excessively large.	The
	  last log file is kept in at_log.old.

     SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION HINTS
	  The system administrator must ensure that all K-Talk based
	  services, including third party applications, do not
	  duplicate tasks performed by atinit.	For example, the Name
	  Binding Protocol Daemon nbpd(1m) is controlled by atinit,
	  and must not be managed by other initialization scripts or
	  secondary references in the startup scripts.

	  After customizing the /usr/etc/appletalk/services file, test
	  your configuration by starting, halting, and restarting
	  AppleTalk services.  Make sure each server is executed (the
	  atinit program displays the name of each server as it is
	  invoked).  Once you have tested atinit from the command

	  line, it is a good idea to review the system startup scripts
	  to make sure AppleTalk services will be invoked at system
	  boot time.  On SGIs and SUNs running Solaris (SunOS 5.2 or
	  later) they are in /etc/init.d, with symbolic links from
	  /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc0.d.  For HP-UX 10.X the startup files
	  are just like SGIs, except the top-level directory is /sbin.
	  On SunOS (5.1 or earlier) AppleTalk is started from
	  /etc/rc.local.  On HP-UX 9.X, it's /etc/rc.  If possible,
	  reboot your system and observe that all AppleTalk services
	  come up cleanly.

     FILES
	  /usr/etc/appletalk/services	list containing full pathnames
					of all AppleTalk daemons
					installed on the system.  On
					SGIs and Solaris this file
					really lives in
					/usr/adm/appletalk, and there
					is only a symbolic link in
					/usr/etc/appletalk.

	  /usr/etc/appletalk		default location for AppleTalk
					server daemons

	  /usr/etc/appletalk/nbpd	name binding protocol daemon

	  /usr/etc/appletalk/epd	echo protocol daemon

	  /usr/adm/appletalk/nbpreg_pids
					process numbers of locally
					registered AppleTalk services
