===================================
PS2CLIENT USAGE AND INFORMATION
===================================
------------------
THE INTRODUCTION
------------------
These programs, ps2client & fsclient, are command line tools used for
interacting
with a ps2 system running ps2link and/or ps2netfs. It will allow you to send
various
commands as well as respond to requests for data. This program was written and
tested
under Linux, Cygwin and Mac OS X but should compile on any reasonably unixlike
system.
If you have any requests, questions or sugestions please feel free to contact
me at
peori()oopo.net. Also, don't be afraid to check out the latest development
version of
ps2client located at cvs.ps2dev.org.
----------------------
BUILDING THE CLIENTS
----------------------
Building and installing is very simple:
make clean; make install
There are some build options, however:
PREFIX=/dir - Install directory, defaults to: $PS2DEV/bin
These options can be used as follows:
make clean; make PREFIX=$PS2DEV/bin install
--------------------
BASIC CLIENT USAGE
--------------------
Basic usage:
ps2client [-h hostname] [-t timeout] <command> [arguments]
fsclient [-h hostname] <command> <arguments>
[-h hostname]
The address of the remote ps2. This can be an IP or a hostname. If none
is given, the environment variable $PS2HOSTNAME will be checked for a
valid address. If this variable isn't set, a default of 192.168.0.10
will be used.
[-t timeout]
An idle timeout period in seconds that the client will wait before exiting.
This is useful to allow a script to continue after calling ps2client to send
a command to ps2link or ps2netfs.
