As such there s no difference in the shell. As clarcase is 
a tool that works on the OS shell, you need to set up Path 
for your clearcase tool in the .profile file of your unix 
shell to recognize the cleartool command.
you can see in the /bin folder whether cleartool command is 
there or not.

And if you take windows environment, there is a cleartool 
shell that that is embed with the clearcase tool that you 
wil purchase, this shell will all the clearcase commands.

u can use below commands in command promt.
c:\>>>> net start albd.

and another way is 
Click Start > Control Panel
Double-click > Administrative Tools folder
Double-click >the Services icon
Double-click >Atria Location Broker service
and start albd.

one more is in conrol panel.there u can see the clearcase 
icon and double click on that icon.
click on services start up.
there u can see the albd status if albd service is stop
start albd service.

CVS is a repository. It is also called Configuration 
management Tool. The use of CMT is to manage the code. The 
history of changes made to the code. This is the brief idea 
about the CMT. For specifically on CVS, Please open the 
below link: http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/

CVS (Concurrent Versions System)is a version control system
which is upward compatible with RCS (Revision Control
System). It is not a configuration management tool by
itself, but it is an important component of a SCM (Software
Configuration Management) system. CVS is designed for use in
a client/server environment using a centralized repository,
and allows for concurrent editing of files by globally
dispersed development teams. For more information see:

The ClearCase ALBD (ALBD stands for the Atria Location 
Broker Daemon) Atria was the name of the company that 
originally designed and developed ClearCase) server is a 
broker between ClearCase processes and data. It provides 
other ClearCase processes with the information needed to 
locate and communicate with other ClearCase processes, 
regardless of where in the network the processes exist.

the albd server handles a varienty of tasks.

when a cleint program wants access a service ( avob or view 
serverfor example)on cleracase host,it uses a remote 
procedure call to send a request to the albd server on that 
host. the albd server starts the requested services if it 
is not already started. then isssues a responce telling the 
client the service's port number. thereafetr the client 
communicates directly with the specific service, without 
invoving the albd_server.

responding to requests for registry information on rational 
cleracase registry on server host.

responding to requests for licenses information on a 
rational cleracase license server hpst.

your question is not clear.your are asking albd_server or 
db_server process.But i am explain both process.

albd_server process is very critical service in clearcase 
server and client .
albd_server process responsible:

1.Starting and stopping other Rational ClearCase services 
as needed.
2.Setting up network communications between Rational 
ClearCase clients and servers that time (When a client 
program wants to access a service (a VOB or view server, 
for example) on a Rational ClearCase server host, it uses a 
remote procedure call (RPC) to send a request to the 
albd_server process on that host).
3.Managing execution of tasks run by the Rational ClearCase 
scheduler.
4.Responding to requests for registry information on a 
Rational ClearCase registry server host.
5.Responding to requests for licenses on a Rational 
ClearCase license server host.

albd_server listen RPC port number is port 371.


db_server service is  different for albd_server process .
db_server is dependent process of albd_server process.

Resonsibile for db_server process:

   Client program is not able to access VOB database 
directly. db_server processes manage VOB database 
transactions on that host in response to requests from 
client programs

The multisite is the best part of clearcase than any other 
tool

The beauty of glearcase lies in its conecpts of config spec
and views ...

1. In ClearCase Check-in's are atomic.
2. Directories are first-class controlled entities in 
Clearcase. Even supports controlling of symbolic/hard links.

In CLearcase performance is better supports more data size..

 VSS Performance is poor and supports less data size.....

special files like
pipe,socket

ordinary file

There r two types of files in UNix 

as Test and Binary file.

In broad manner Text file is also three types ;

Normal text file
System text file
Device text file

Some of them are :

Organize versioned artifacts into versioned components.

Organize versioned components and subsystems into versioned 
subsystems.

Create baselines at project milestones.

Record and track requests for change.

Organize and integrate consistent sets of versions using 
activities.

Maintain stable and consistent workspaces.

ClearCase is the best...........
