Starting and Stopping the Agent

HydraExpress : HydraExpress User Guide : PART II The HydraExpress Agent : Agent Administration : Starting and Stopping the Agent

Once you have set up a command window with the HydraExpress environment, as explained in Chapter 2, you can start and stop the Agent using the script rwsfserver. In the installation, this script is located in the <installdir>\bin directory. The example below shows the syntax to start and stop the Agent on both Windows and UNIX:

rwsfserver start

rwsfserver stop

In addition, rwsfserver takes the following options:

Table 10 – Agent Options
Option	Description
-? -h --help or no arguments	Displays the help
-d --debug	Starts the Agent in debug mode¹
-w --wait	Waits until the Agent has stopped before returning
-c <alt-conf-file>	Sets an alternative Agent startup configuration file. For example: rwsfserver -c conf\agent1\rwagent1.xml start

¹ If you start the Agent in debug mode on Windows, it loads only services and named objects compiled in debug mode, as identified by the tag 15d in the file name.
