ODXSRVR

Interactive ODXSRVR Process

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

On connection, each child process is assigned a port-id number which is displayed, along with a message indicating the current status of the connection as it changes.

Additional information about the child processes can be displayed from a separate command prompt using the odxsrvr command line options -lport=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

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

odxsrvr -lport=1232 -admin=ALL

-- or --

odxsrvr c:\omnidex\bin\odxs1232.cfg

Unix

The default on a Unix server is to run as a daemon process. To run interactively on Unix, start the listener from a command prompt with the -nodaemon option.

odxsrvr -lport=1232 -nodaemon -admin=GENERAL

-- or --

odxsrvr /users/omnidex/bin/odxs1232.cfg -nodaemon

If the odxsrvr listener is run as a daemon process, the odxsrvr listener will still run interactively within the same Unix session that it was started, but will also allow the user to continue to use the session for other purposes. Information about client connections will continue to display as they change.

MPE

The default on an MPE server is to run interactively.

run odxsrvr.cs;info="SRVRCFG.FFL.DATA"

-- or --

run odxsrvr.cs;info="-lport=1232"

Shutting Down the Listener

The interactive odxsrvr process can be stopped from within the same server session that it was started in by typing Control + c on a Windows NT or Unix server or Control + break on MPE. It can also be stopped from a separate command prompt by running odxsrvr with the -lport-n and -shutdown options.

odxsrvr -lport=1232 -shutdown

If the odxsrvr listener is run as a daemon process on a Unix server, the
-shutdown command must be used to stop the listener. Control + c will only cause it to stop displaying connection information.
