AcuServer services are handled by the acuserve daemon running on the server. The acuserve command can be invoked from the command line, as described in this section.
Note that if you start acuserve from the command line on a Windows NT (Intel) server, it will stop when you log off. If you want acuserve to keep running after you log off, start acuserve as a Windows NT service. See Chapter 5, section 5.1, Installing the Server, for more details.
The acuserve command allows you to:
start and stop AcuServer (the acuserve daemon)
retrieve AcuServer operation status
unlock stranded files
create and maintain the server access file
The acuserve command formats on Windows NT (Intel) servers are:
acuserve
acuserve -access
acuserve -info [server] [-n num]
acuserve -install [server] [-n num]
acuserve -kill [server] [-f] [-n num]
acuserve -remove [server] [-n num]
acuserve -start [-c config_file] [-e error_file] [-l] [-t#] [-f] [-n num] [-p port]
acuserve -unlock [server] [-a] [-c client [-u user] [-p PID]] [-f FID] [-n num]
acuserve -version
You must be Administrator or an account that belongs to the Administrators group to use these options:
-install
-access
-kill
-remove
-start
-unlock
To start acuserve from the command line, enter the following :
acuserve -start -e acuserve.log
To stop acuserve enter the following:
acuserve -kill [server]
