[9fans] How to run different services on multiple cpu servers

[Brantley Coile]

I've been running a single cpu server for 9 years.
I'm now setting up several.  What's customary for
configing the serivces?  I created a new directory name service.<sysname>
and moved things around in there.  How do you folks do it?

That's exactly what I did. It works quite well for me.
I'd be curious to hear other people's solutions, though.

I did so, too, since you're asking.

hmm, not sure I'm going to want to do this for 256 servers, but we'll 
see...

yeah. that's something that occurred to me. i don't
think it's scaleable to large numbers of servers. if
those 256 servers all start the same services, you
could just use one directory for all of them, but i'm
sure that occurred to you.

[Charles Forsyth]

assuming many fewer classes than servers:

bind /rc/bin/service.$class /rc/bin/service

might need /lib/namespace.$class instead or as well for listen (haven't checked).

Re: [9fans] How to run different services on multiple cpu servers

[Geoff Collyer]

Both listen and listen1 do a

	newns("none", ...)

so binds made before running listen or listen1 will only affect
trusted (listen -t) services.  For untrusted services, at least, you
need to bind things suitably in the appropriate /lib/namespace* files.

I have a switch in cpurc that starts different services for
different cpuservers.
