ipp3adm

This is the background admin server used to act on commands from data on a Fip
Server.

It is normally placed in the SYSTEM file and forgot about.

There is also a Parameter file - just for FipSeq called tables/p4/P4ADMIN. This
allows the Kill message to be changed. (FipHdr Y9).

Input switches are (all optional) :
	-l : do not log requests and connections	default: log
	-d : top path					default: /p4
	-P : Port no to receive messages on		default: 9200
	-v : print version number and quit		default: no

Program 'ipbalan' is polling a queue on the Notes Server and sends any incoming
message to 'ipp3adm' on (normally) 3 machines - main, backup, disaster site.

There are 10 types of XML tags we can receive :
	C1. Device Definition
	C2. Process Definition
	C3. Pipeline Definition
	C4. UFB Definition
	C5. Setup	- from Finsbury
	C6. Setup Log	- back to Finsbury - (if input to Fip ignored)

	O1. Page List
	O2. Pair List
	O3. Transmit List
	O4. User Input	- from Finsbury
	O5. Event Log	- back to Finsbury - (if input to Fip ignored)
