Options

The following table explains the options for xcomd:

-c[y]

Kill the daemon process and free shared memory. This option will stop the daemon while transfers are running.

Note: Use this option as a last resort because it brings the scheduler down immediately, whether or not there are running or scheduled transfers. If you use the -c option without the y, the system prompts you to confirm this action by typing y for yes.

Important! This option can cause corruption of the CA XCOM queue. It can shut down CA XCOM Data Transport while it is updating the queue. To prevent problems, delete the queue by deleting all files in $XCOM_HOME/Q after issuing this command.

-dtracelevel

Set the trace level of the daemon process to tracelevel. Higher numbers (up to 10) give more trace information. The trace goes to stderr. For more information, see the topic, Tracing Problems, in the chapter "The Command Line Interface."

-r

Report the release level of xcomd and exit.

-s

Stop the CA XCOM Data Transport daemon by sending a request to the scheduler.

Note: This option does not stop the daemon immediately if there is an active transfer going on.
