cflowd configuration: starting cflowd Next Previous Contents

3. starting cflowd

3.1 starting cflowdmux

cflowdmux should be started before cflowd. It can be started with no arguments, in which case it will use a compiled-in default as the configuration file name (typically /usr/local/arts/etc/cflowd.conf). It will also accept an explicit configuration file name as the first argument. Examples:

  % cflowdmux

would start cflowdmux using the compiled-in default configuration file.

  % cflowdmux /etc/cflowd.conf

would start cflowdmux using /etc/cflowd.conf as the configuration file.

3.2 starting cflowd

After starting cflowdmux, you should start cflowd. Like cflowdmux, cflowd will use a compiled-in default configuration file (typically /usr/local/arts/etc/cflowd.conf) if given no arguments. It will also accept an explicit configuration file name as the first argument. Examples:

  % cflowd

would start cflowd using the compiled-in default configuration file.

  % cflowd /etc/cflowd.conf

would start cflowd using /etc/cflowd.conf as the configuration file.
