Startup on Unix
The Unix version of c-tree does not show any graphical window. All messages are printed on the console.
To start the server in foreground mode, change to the “server” directory and launch the following command:
To start the server in background mode, change to the “server” directory and launch the following command:
The Unix "no hang up" option may also be used to keep the c-tree Server from being terminated if the user starting the c-tree Server logs off the system. For example,
To stop the server, you can use either ctadmn or ctstop utilities, that will be discussed later.
Starting multiple Servers on the same machine
In this example we show how to start two c-tree Server processes listening on different ports on the same machine.
1. Create two configuration files, e.g.
ctsrvr1.cfg:
SERVER_NAME FAIRCOMS1 SERVER_PORT 6661 LOCAL_DIRECTORY ./data1/ |
ctsrvr2.cfg:
SERVER_NAME FAIRCOMS2 SERVER_PORT 6662 LOCAL_DIRECTORY ./data2/ |
Note - the two snippets above shows the basic configuration, they should be completed with the rest of settings that usually appear in a c-tree configuration. We notice that different ports and different data folders are referenced in the two configuration files.
2. Start the two processes as follows:
faircom CTSRVR_CFG /path/to/ctsrvr1.cfg faircom CTSRVR_CFG /path/to/ctsrvr2.cfg |
