 Bonobo Activation Server(1)                     Bonobo Activation Server(1)




 NAME
      bonobo-activation-server - GNOME component tracker

 DESCRIPTION
      This application tracks information about installed components and
      brokers components, in conjunction with its client library;
      libbonobo-activation.

      It reads the component descriptions from
      ${prefix}/lib/bonobo/servers/*.server.  These files provide an XML
      description of a components capabilities which can be queried and
      manipulated by clients from the client library.

      Bonobo-activation-server also ensures that the minimum neccessary
      number of servers for your display setup are running.

      Bonobo-activation-server executes all components with the environment
      inherited from the first process to start the server. In addition to
      using your prefix, it will examine the BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH and the
      GNOME2_PATH environment variables to find .server files.

      In addition it examines an XML configuration file in
      ${prefix}/etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml
