2.3.1  The Director

The Director is a required WEBES process (or set of processes) that runs continuously. The Director manages a system on behalf of WEBES, and executes functionality added to it by individual WEBES tools. For example, SEA provides the Director with the ability to capture and interpret hardware events, either automatically or at the request of an outside process.

The Director automatically starts along with the system and normally does not require additional user interaction. Some operations may require that you stop and restart it, however (see Sections 3.8 and 3.7).

See Chapter 3 for more information about the Director.
