Name

mkpgrp — Creates a new peergroup

Synopsis

mkpgrp [-d doc] [-p ] [-m service]  name
               

Description

mkgrp creates a new peergroup using the supplied peergroup advertisement. If no advertisement is provided, the command will create a clone of the NetPeerGroup peergroup. In either case, the peergroup is assigned a name.

The PG# group name environment variable is created to store the new group information. The new peergroup is advertised in the NetPeerGroup. By default, mkpgrp remotely publishes the newly created group; to skip remote publishing, specify the -p option.

Options

-d doc

Creates the group from the information in the given peergroup advertisement

-m service

Specifies a service to be used as the membership service

-p

Prevents remote publishing of the new peergroup advertisement

name

Assigns the peergroup the given name

Example

JXTA>mygroupadv = mkadv -g
JXTA>mypgrp = mkpgrp -d mygroupadv mygroup

This creates a new peergroup with the name mygroup. Before you can do anything with the group, you must join it by using the join command.
