rcslpd start as root to start it and rcslpd stop to stop it. Perform a restart
or status check with restart or status. If slpd should be active by default, enable
slpd in YaST System > System Services (Runlevel) or run the insserv slpd command
once as root. This automatically includes slpd in the set of services to start when the
system boots.
31.2 SLP Front-Ends in SUSE Linux
To find services provided by SLP in your network, use an SLP front-end. SUSE Linux
Enterprise contains several front-ends:
slptool
slptool is a simple command line program that can be used to announce SLP in-
quiries in the network or announce proprietary services. slptool --help lists
all available options and functions. slptool can also be called from scripts that
process SLP information.
YaST SLP Browser
YaST contains a separate SLP browser that lists all services in the local network
announced by SLP in a tree diagram. Find it as Network Services > SLP Browser.
Konqueror
When used as a network browser, Konqueror can display all SLP services available
in the local network at slp:/. Click the icons in the main window to obtain more
detailed information about the relevant service. If you use Konqueror with
service:/, click the relevant icon once in the browser window to set up a con-
nection with the selected service.
31.3 Installation over SLP
If you offer an installation server with SUSE Linux Enterprise installation media
within your network, this can be registered with SLP. For details, see
"Setting Up an Installation Server Using YaST"
linuxrc starts an SLP inquiry after the system has booted from the selected boot medium
and displays the sources found.
