NAME

 
start_ibxlookupd.osf - shell script that starts ibxlookupd, the InfoBroker look-up daemon. 

SYNTAX

 
/usr/sbin/start_ibxlookupd.osf [ argument ]

ARGUMENT

-p  port-number
 
Specifies a nondefault port number for the port on which the look-up daemon runs.  If you do not use this option to specify another port, then the look-up daemon runs on port 8888 by default.

DESCRIPTION

 
The /usr/sbin/start_ibxlookupd.osf shell script starts the InfoBroker look-up daemon.  You must be root to use this script. 
 
The look-up daemon provides access to the InfoBroker server from the InfoBroker HTML page, which can be read using any web browser that can communicate with a World Wide Web server.  Once you install the server and the look-up daemon, you need to give your client users the Universal Resource Locator (URL) for the look-up daemon; in their browsers, the users open the URL, access the HTML page, and request look ups.
 
Here is the typical format of an URL for the look-up daemon:
 

http://daemon_hostname:8888/

 
The daemon_hostname is the name of the machine running the look-up daemon. 
 
If your client users are not located within the same TCP/IP domain as the look-up daemon or if their web browsers do not support URLs composed of only a host name, then you need to provide the complete TCP/IP domain address in place of daemon_hostname.  (For example, http://machine.company.com:8888/.)  Also, if you are not running the look-up daemon on the default port, then you need to specify the correct port number in place of 8888. 

EXAMPLES

#  /usr/sbin/start_ibxlookupd.osf  -p 8890
