emp_hub "[-persistent] [-debug] [-help] [-mirror] host port localport"
DESCRIPTION
emp_hub allows multiple clients to simultaneously connect to a single Empire
country. This allows you to use both a fast and a smart client
simultaneously. It also permits multiple corulers to log in at once.
"Parameters"
host
Hostname of the upstream server.
port
TCP/IP port number the empire server is running on.
localport
TCP/IP port number the emp_hub should listen to for incoming client
connections.
-mirror
Copy commands and replies to all clients using new protocols. Currently
only the
lafe client is aware of these protocols, though most clients will ignore them.
-persistent
Normally
emp_hub exits after the last client disconnects. With this option
emp_hub does not exit, and will wait for new clients to connect.
emp_hub must be killed by the user using the
kill command.
-help
Brief usage information.
-debug
Print lots of messages, including everything sent and received by a client.
Useful when debugging either
emp_hub , a client, or the server.
Due to the nature of the empire protocol, only one client may have input
focus at one time. If a client pauses at a context sensitive prompt from
the server, all other clients will be unable to send data.
