[9fans] Running a server/service??

[Ish Rattan <ishwar@pali.cps.cmich.edu>]

I have asked this question before in a different form. I have
tried and am stuck any help will be appreciated.

I want to write a server, call it myserver (works like echo except
prepends a sequence number to the message echoed back). I have code
written based on the example given in net.html/ps document. Now the
question how do I start it? I have seen entries for echo-server
running on port 7:

1. /lib/ndb/common	(tcp=echo  port=7 etc.)
2. /rc/bin/service/tcp7
3. /net/ndb/tcp/7/*

This is ok for system started server. Does one have to go the same route
or one can run a user-level server process whan no write permission is
available on the above parts of namespace?

Further, if I want to run myecho on port 1111 so that a client can talk
to it -- what are the lists of steps to perform? I want to undestand
the process of running a server process??

Thanks in advance.
