Configuring the Subprocess Control Daemon

The desktop subprocess control (SPC) service provides client/server command execution.

The desktop subprocess control daemon (dtspcd) is used by the desktop to launch remote applications. It is an inet daemon that accepts requests from remote clients to execute commands. For more information on how to configure inet daemons, see the inetd.conf(1M) man page.

The desktop action invocation library uses the SPC service to invoke remote actions.
