ODXNET

Interactive ODXNET Process

An ODXNET listener is capable of running interactively from the command prompt, continually displaying information about the child processes that connect to the listener.

ODXNET will continue to run in the background after the command session is ended, unless explicitly shut down using the -port=n -shutdown directives.

Information about the child processes can be displayed from a separate command prompt using the ODXNET directives -port=n -admin=argument. This will display information about the number of child processes attached to the listener whether or not the listener is running interactively.

Start the Listener

Windows NT/2000/XP Server

To run an odxnet process interactively on Windows NT, start the listener from a command prompt with the desired options separated by spaces.

odxnet -port=1232

-- or --

odxnet c:\omnidex\bin\odxs1232.cfg

Unix

To run ODXNET on Unix, start the listener from a command prompt using the -port=n directive along with any of the other command line directives, space separated:

odxnet -port=1232 -nopools

-- or using a configuration file:

odxnet /users/omnidex/bin/odxs1232.cfg

Shut Down the Listener

The interactive ODXNET process can be stopped from within the same server session that it was started in by typing Control + c. It can also be stopped from a separate command prompt by running odxnet with the -port-n and -shutdown directives.

odxnet -port=1232 -shutdown
