NAME

pdstartclient — start the HPDPS client daemon

pdstartclient [-l locale] [-p port] [-q]

The pdstartclient utility is issued by an administrator to start the HPDPS client daemon.

The pdstartclient utility uses the following flag:

-l locale: Allows you to specify the locale for HPDPS messages in a specific language.
-p port: Allows you to specify the port number when starting a HPDPS client in a locale other than the default locale. The port number you assign must not conflict with port numbers in use by other processes. The file /etc/services lists the port numbers reserved by other processes.
-q: Allows you to query the status whether the daemon is running or not running without starting the daemon.

To start the daemon, enter the following:

pdstartclient

To start the daemon in a Japanese locale and assign port number 1411, enter the following:

pdstartclient -l ja_JP.SJIS -p 1411

To query the status of a daemon, enter the following:

pdstartclient -q; echo $?

If the daemon is running, you will receive the following message:

The HPDPS daemon is already running
0

If the daemon is not running, you will receive a 1.

To query the status of a daemon running in locale ja_JP.SJIS, enter the following:

pdstartclient -q -l ja_JP.SJIS

To query the status of a daemon running on port 1411, enter the following:

pdstartclient -q -p 1411
