Starting a Host

To start a Host, execute:

java -cp $JICOS/lib/jicos-system.jar \ -Djava.security.policy=$JICOS/policy/policy \ edu.ucsb.cs.jicos.services.Host <task_server-machine>⁺

The command-line argument is a list of 1 or more machine domain names. The Host tries to discover a running task server from the list of machine names, proceeding from left to right. It repeats this discovery loop, if necessary, until it finds a registered task server, registering with the task server it finds.

Since the policy file policy within $JICOS/policy grants all permissions, it is used only in testing situations.
