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
       /usr/local/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 /etc/bonobo-
       activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml
