| Question/Problem Description | What is the significance of the Orbix services' parameter "it_notify_object"? What does "it_notify_object" do? Background processes and "it_notify_object" |
| Clarifying Information | The parameter "it_notify_object" sometimes appears in the Orbix domain start scripts, where it is passed to Orbix services. |
| Error Message | |
| Defect/Enhancement Number | |
| Cause | |
| Resolution | When an Orbix 6 service runs with the "–background/-bg" parameter, it forks a child process that will become the background process. On POSIX platforms, the parent processes passes the "it_notify_object" parameter to the child, ultimately allowing it to communicate potential start-up errors to the parent. As this parameter is used internally by Orbix, it should not be changed by the user. |
