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.
