Setting up servers

In the file $VULCAN/setup.scm you specify where to contact the servers the system uses. The variable *switchboard-vulcan* defines this information. For example, the line
(define *switchboard-vulcan* "vulcan.csres.utexas.edu:16000")
indicates that the switchboard will run in Vulcan on port 16000. Since usually you will use the same port, please include the following line in your .bashrc file:
alias startservers ='cd $VULCAN/etc; ./server-setup localhost port-number'
where you specify port-number.
