LFC-DLI(8)						    LFC Administrator Commands							LFC-DLI(8)

NAME

       lfc-dli - start the LFC Data Location Interface server

SYNOPSIS

       lfc-dli [ -l log_file ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  lfc-dli  command  starts  the  LFC	Data  Location	Interface  server.   This  command  is	usually  executed  at  system startup time
       (/etc/rc.local).  This will create a pool of threads, look for requests and pass them to the LFC.  When a request has been  completed,  the
       thread becomes idle until it is allocated to another request.

       All error messages and statistical information are kept in a log.

       The  Data  Location  Interface server listen port number can be defined on client hosts and on the server itself in either of the following
       ways:

	      setting an environment variable DLI_PORT

		     setenv DLI_PORT 8085

	      an entry in /etc/shift.conf like:

		     DLI  PORT 8085

       If none of these methods is used, the default port number is taken from the definition of DLI_PORT in dli_server.h.

       In the log each entry has a timestamp.  For each user request there is one message giving information about the	requestor  (hostname)  and
       one message DLI98 giving the request itself.  The completion code of the request is also logged.

OPTIONS

       -l log_file
	      Specifies a different path for the LFC Data Location Interface server log file.  The special value syslog will send the log messages
	      to the system logger syslogd.
