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.
