DESCRIPTION
iserver is the Inmos host server program. It is used to
load programs onto Transtech systems and allow them access
to the host workstation’s keyboard, screen, file system and
other services.
The list of available systems (resources) which iserver can
use is kept in a file called the connection database. The
environment variable ICONDB should be set to the pathname of
this file. The resource that iserver should attempt to use
is specified by the sl option or the environment variable
TRANSPUTER.
The session manager provides a mechanism to allow users con-
tinuous access to a resource. It has a simple command line
interface allowing users to specify and use the required
resource. This interface can be customised by a configura-
tion file specified by the environment variable ISESSION.
OPTIONS
On Unix systems iserver options are preceded by ‘-’. On DOS
systems iserver options are preceded by ‘/’.

Boot the named file (same as -sr -ss -si -sc filename).
