SLP Release Notes

What’s in this Version
SLP Features
Chapter 1 13
A script has been provided to start, stop and restart slpd and also to
dump the database. The usage of this script is described below:
Static Registration
The SLP implementation allows legacy service applications that are not
SLP-enabled (i.e. applications that were not compiled to use the SLP
library) to participate in the SLP framework. Thereby allowing UAs to
dynamically discover these legacy services. A file is used to provide the
service information of these non-SLP-enabled applications. The default
file being,/etc/slp.reg. This default file is read during the start-up by
slpd, and is re-read when ever a SIGHUP signal is received. The default
file can be overwritten via the “-r" command line option of the slpd
command.
NOTE For more information on how to set up the static registration file, see
man page slp.reg (4).
Troubleshooting
The log information by default is written by slpd into
/var/run/slpd.log file. The log file can be specified during slpd start
time using "-l " command line option. Options are provided in the
slp.conf file to specify the various information that can be logged in the
slp.log file.
