I have got stuck at a point where I have a list of hosts available in my
program but need to boot lam on the hosts that I have defined in my
'initialization file'. I have just enumerated all the hosts along with all
the information my program will need in this file.

The question now is to use lamboot to boot the LAM environment. I was
reading man -S 5 conf, when I learned about process schematas. But I
couldn't gather if that was something I might need. Most of the
configurations in lam have to do with the bhost file. It is required that
all initializations happen through the initialization file I wrote, which
can be edited through my interface also.

Please let me know if you feel conf will aid in this functionality, for
now I thought about making a temporary file and called system("lamboot
<file"). I wasn't sure if I could specify a string of hosts on the lamboot
command line to startup the LAM environment. Something that I haven't
tried till now.

Thanks,
