2.4 The acuserve Command

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.

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

acuserve command line formats include:

acuserve
acuserve  -access
acuserve  -config  [server]  [-n  port]
acuserve  -info  [server]  [-n  port]
acuserve  -kill  [server]  [-f]  [-n  port]
acuserve  -start  [-c config_file]  [-e error_file]  [-l]  [-t #]
                  [-f]  [-n  port]
acuserve  -unlock  [server]  [-a]  [[-c client   [-u user]
                   [-p PID]]  [-f FID]  [-n  port]
acuserve  -version

You must be root or superuser on a UNIX server to use these options:

-access
-config
-kill
-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]
