amsd - AMS configuration server and/or registrar daemon

       Report bugs to <ion-bugs@korgano.eecs.ohiou.edu>

amsd is a background "daemon" task that functions as an AMS "configuration server" in the local
       continuum, as an AMS "registrar" in a specified cell, or both.

       If MIB_source_name is specified, it must name a MIB initialization file in the correct format for amsd,
       either amsrc(5) or amsxml(5), depending on whether or not -DNOEXPAT was set at compile time.  Otherwise @
       is required; in this case, the built-in default MIB is loaded.

       If this amsd task is NOT to run as a configuration server then the second command-line argument must be a
       '.' character.  Otherwise the second command-line argument must be either '@' or
       config_server_endpoint_spec.  If '@' then the endpoint specification for this configuration server is
       automatically computed as the default endpoint specification for the primary transport service as noted
       in the MIB: "hostname:2357".

       If an AMS module is NOT to be run in a background thread for this daemon (enabling shutdown by amsstop(1)
       and/or runtime MIB update by amsmib(1)), then either the last three command-line arguments must be
       omitted or else the "amsd" role must not be defined in the MIB loaded for this daemon.  Otherwise the
       application_name and authority_name arguments are required and the "amsd" role must be defined in the
       MIB.

       If this amsd task is NOT to run as a registrar then the last command-line argument must be omitted.
       Otherwise the last three command-line arguments are required and they must identify a unit in an AMS
       venture for the indicated application and authority that is known to operate in the local continuum, as
       noted in the MIB.  Note that the unit name for the "root unit" of a venture is the zero-length string "".

       The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file:

       amsd can't load MIB.
           MIB initialization file was missing, unreadable, or invalid.

       amsd can't start CS.
           Configuration server initialization failed for reasons noted in ion.log file.

       amsd can't start RS.
           Registrar initialization failed for reasons noted in ion.log file.

       No environment variables apply.

       "0" amsd terminated without error.

       -1  amsd  terminated  due  to  an  anomaly  as  noted  in  the ion.log file.  If this termination was not
           commanded, investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file and restart amsd.

       If MIBsourcename  is  specified,  then  a  file  of  this  name  must  be  present.   Otherwise  a  MIB
       initialization file with the applicable default name (see amsrc(5)) must be present.
