Startup Script Command Line Parameters

The start_statistics_server script accepts the following command line parameters (in any order):

  • Daemon. Run the server software as a daemon process by optionally specifying -d. If you omit the -d, the server will start as a foreground process. For example, to start the server software as a daemon, use the command:
    ./start_statistics_server -d
  • Group. If you are running multiple instances of the server software, specify the group that is associated with the instance:
    start_statistics_server -g <groupname>

    where

    <groupname> is the appropriate group name.

  • Port. A port number can optionally be specified on the startup script command line. For example, to specify a port number, use the command:
    start_statistics_server -p nnnn

    where

    nnnn is the desired port number.

    Specify a port number only if you need to resolve a port number conflict. The default will work unless another application on the computer is using the same number. This command line setting overrides the value set in the administration application.
