Usage

tserver [ether=node[,port ...] [verbose] [debug] [nolock] [nofork]
This command glues together a variety of other network servers that are running the BAIT interconnect protocol to form a master server.

tserver actually provides no services itself but instead simply shuttles messages to other services that are listed on the command line. See OPTIONS below for more details. To each service it sends the message help and receives back the reply:

done help xxx yyy ...
where xxx etc are the commands that are available. Note: If several services have the same command, the command is routed to the server that appears first in the command line. Schematically tserver works as shown in Figure 5.3.
