Name

prestoctl_svc − Prestoserve control daemon

Syntax

/usr/etc/prestoctl_svc [ −n ]

Description

The prestoctl_svc RPC-based daemon allows you to monitor and manage a Prestoserve cache and its driver.  The daemon can be started manually, or it can be started each time you reboot by adding the command to the rc.local file.

You must run the prestoctl_svc daemon if you want remote clients to be able to use the presto -h command.  Refer to presto() for more information.

Options

−nAllows any network client to manage a Prestoserve cache and its driver.  The −n option allows you to change the size of the Prestoserve cache and the state of the Prestoserve cache (either UP or DOWN) by using remote procedure calls.  The −n option is useful when evaluating or demonstrating Prestoserve capabilities.  Because of security problems, it is recommended that the −n option not be used on production machines.
