Name

kasn - assign knobs from a file of saved assignments

Synopsis

kasn <knob_host> <dbman_host>

Description

Assign knobs from a file of knob assignments. The file is usually created with kasnrd.

Arguments

knob_host

The host where knobd is running.
dbman_host

The host where dbman is running.

Environment Variables

KNOB

If the command line argument knob_host is present it overrides the environment variable otherwise this value is used as the host name for knobd.

If KNOB is missing from the environment and the knob_host command line argument is not present the hostname defaults to localhost.

DBMAN_HOST

If the command line argument dbman_host is present it overrides the environment variable. otherwise this value is used as the host name for dbmand.

If DBMAN_HOST is missing from the environment and the dbman_host command line argument is not present the hostname defaults to localhost.

Exit Codes

The program exits with a 0 on success.
The program exits with a 1 on all fatal errors.

Notes

DBMAN_HOST is used to provide the host argument in the assign request passed to knobd. It would be better for the assignments file to contain the dbman host name rather than provide it in this way since knobd is capable of handling more than one running copy of dbman at a time.
