Writing an SLP SA to Advertise the Service

If the source code or an updated PROM with SLP is not available, you can write a small SLP SA that advertises the service. The SA can function as a small daemon that is started from the same shell script as the service itself. Similarly, the service control shell script can also stop the SA. Again, the SLP APIs for C and Java provide programmatic access to SLP.
