Updatetool GUI/Notifier IPC protocol. This protocol facilates basic operations between the GUI and the notifier. For example the notifier can trigger a running GUI to display pending updates or the GUI can trigger a running notifier to check for new updates. The clients listen for connections in the private port range: 49152-65535. If the client sends an invalid command the connection is dropped. Connections are handled serially. A new connection will not be accepted until the current connection closes. The ports currently in use by the GUI and notifier are maintained in /{ut, nt}_lock-{fully qualified hostname}: nt_lock-aha.red.iplanet.com ut_lock-aha.red.iplanet.com --------- Protocol: Client Server Comments ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION ---> Not implemented <--- X.Y.Z.A Issue 616 HELLO ---> <--- OK SHOW ---> Raise/Restore app. <--- OK LOAD_CONFIG ---> Reload preferences <--- OK SHOW_UPDATES ---> Show/Start UT. <--- OK APPLY_UPDATES ---> Show Updates/Ask <--- OK user if ok to apply.
