Manual Startup

Iotellect Server can be manually started by a special Launcher created during the installation process. Launcher type depends on the operating system:

Iotellect Server installer creates three launchers whose extension depends on the operating system:

  • iot_server for a normal startup
  • %LS_BINARY%_console for starting server and showing its output in the console window (note, that logging to files and other destinations is not disabled in this case)
  • %LS_BINARY%_service for starting server as a service

Manual Startup in Windows

Under Windows, Iotellect Server launchers are accessible through the Start Menu (Start > Programs > Iotellect > Server) or as a desktop shortcut:

For viewing server startup log in a console window, run %LS_BINARY%_console.exe application.

Manual Startup in Linux

Iotellect Server Linux launchers are executable shell scripts. To start the server manually, run one of the following commands:

  • %LS_BINARY%_console for synchronous startup that shows server log in current console window. Note that server will be stopped, for example, upon a Ctrl-C keyboard command.
  • %LS_BINARY%_service start for starting server as a daemon. Note that server will not be auto-restarted automatically if restart command is issued via any user interface (such as Iotellect Client).
  • service %LS_BINARY%_service start for starting server as a daemon if its auto-start script/symlink is available in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d
