NAME
     rxque - data queue server

SYNOPSIS
     rxque [ -csh | filename ]

DESCRIPTION
     rxque is a daemon which serves a data queue, normally used by rexx(1) which
     starts  it  automatically, although it can be started manually.  It runs in
     the background and accepts requests from rxstack(1) or from  Rexx	programs
     until terminated with signal 15.

USAGE
     The  server communicates with clients via a Unix-domain socket.  If a file-
     name parameter is given, rxque uses this as the  name  of	the  socket  and
     prints the process id of the server to its standard output.  This should be
     saved  and used to terminate the server with signal 15 when it is no longer
     required.	If no filename parameter is supplied, rxque generates a filename
     of its own and outputs both the filename and the process id to its standard
     output in the form of settings for the environment  variables  RXSTACK  and
     RXSTACKPROC,  respectively.   The default format is two `NAME=value' pairs,
     suitable for interpretation by a Bourne shell.  If the -csh  flag	is  sup-
     plied  then the format will be two `setenv' commands suitable for interpre-
     tation by a C-shell.  Writing a command such as:

     eval `rxque -csh`

     will thus set the environment variables.

     The variable RXSTACK containing the socket file name must	be  exported  to
     the environment in order for clients to be able to use the stack.

OPTIONS
     -csh   Use the `setenv' format of output.

     filename
	    Use  the  filename	as  the  name  of the socket and just output the
	    process id of the server.

ENVIRONMENT
     RXSTACK
	    The name of the socket used for communication with the server.

     RXSTACKPROC
	    The process id of the server.
