6 vlmcsdmulti - a multi-call binary containing vlmcs(1) and vlmcsd(8)
\r
10 vlmcsdmulti vlmcs [ options ] [ hostname|ip-address[:port] ] [ options
\r
11 ] | vlmcsd [ options ]
\r
15 vlmcsdmulti is a multi-call binary that contains vlmcs(1) and vlmcsd(8)
\r
16 in a single binary. Since both programs share a lot of code and data,
\r
17 the combined binary is significantly smaller than the sum of both
\r
20 vlmcsdmulti should not be called directly. Instead you may want to cre‐
\r
21 ate symbolic links named vlmcs and vlmcsd which point to vlmcsdmulti.
\r
22 You then use these links to call the respective program. You may how‐
\r
23 ever call vlmcsdmulti followed by a complete command line of either
\r
24 vlmcs(1) or vlmcsd(8).
\r
26 Creating symbolic links in unixoid operating systems
\r
27 cd to the directory containing vlmcsdmulti and type
\r
29 ln -s vlmcsdmulti vlmcsd
\r
30 ln -s vlmcsdmulti vlmcs
\r
32 You may use a destination directory, e.g.
\r
34 ln -s vlmcsdmulti /usr/local/sbin/vlmcsd
\r
35 ln -s vlmcsdmulti /usr/local/bin/vlmcs
\r
37 Ensure that vlmcsdmulti has execute permissions. You can do that by
\r
38 typing "chmod 755 vlmcsdmulti". See chmod(1) for details.
\r
40 Creating symbolic links in Windows (Vista and higher only)
\r
41 cd to the directory containing vlmcsdmulti and type
\r
43 mklink vlmcsd.exe vlmcsdmulti.exe
\r
44 mklink vlmcs.exe vlmcsdmulti.exe
\r
46 You may use a destination directory, e.g.
\r
48 mklink C:\tools\vlmcsd.exe vlmcsdmulti.exe
\r
49 mklink C:\tools\vlmcs.exe vlmcsdmulti.exe
\r
51 Memory considerations
\r
52 While you definitely save disk space by using vlmcsdmulti you will need
\r
53 more RAM when you run vlmcsdmulti as a daemon (KMS server) instead of
\r
54 vlmcsd. You should consider running vlmcsdmulti via an internet super‐
\r
55 server like inetd(8) or xinetd(8).
\r
59 vlmcsdmulti has the same bugs as vlmcs(1) and vlmcsd(8).
