 NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]
      This command is used by the advertiser on the system where the CDS

      diagnostic work on the host system.

 EXAMPLE    [Toc]    [Back]
      Before you run the following process, make sure that other clerks are
      not running.  To start the cdsclerk process, follow these steps:

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

       2.  Log in to the system as superuser (root).

       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:

            ps


           If the dced process appears on the list of active processes,
           proceed to step 5.  If the dced process does not appear on the
