Overview

/etc/latd.conf is a shell script (run by /bin/sh) that is run when latd is started up using the latcp -s command.
It contains commands used to customise lat for your site and usually consists of a list of latcp commands.
latd.conf is run with a minimal PATH and a minimal environment. The variable $LATCP points to the latcp binary used to invoke the script.

# the first service announcement will not be made until this 
# script completes.
