 DESCRIPTION

   The cdsclerk command manages the interface between clients and the
   CDS server.

   Privilege Required

   Your UIC must be DCE$SERVER.

 NOTES

   You should use this command interactively only to do diagnostic
   work on the host system.

 EXAMPLE

   Before you run the following process, make sure that other clerks are
   not running.  To start the cdsclerk process for debugging, follow
   these steps:

    1.  Make sure that a CDS server is already running somewhere within the
        cell.

    2.  Log in to the system as a privileged user, and set your UIC to
        DCE$SERVER.

    3.  Log in to DCE as the machine principal of the local host.  Enter
        the principal name in the format /hosts/hostname/self as shown
        in the following example command for a host named orion whose
        password is smith:

             $ dce_login hosts/orion/self smith

    4.  Enter the following command to see if the dced process is already
        running:
             $ show system

        If the DCE$DCED process appears on the list of active processes,
        proceed to step 5.  If the DCE$DCED process does not appear on
        the list of active processes, enter the following command to
        start the process (for debugging only):

             $ r sys$system:dce$dced

    5.  Enter the following command to start the cdsadv process:

             $ r sys$system:dce$cdsadver

    6.  Enter the following command with the appropriate arguments to
        start the cdsclerk process:

             $ r sys$system:dce$cdsclerk
