Description

This command starts the CIF Driver from the shell, using the options specified. It must be run as root.

The CIF Driver runs in the foreground to facilitate initial testing and configuration. When it is run with no parameters, it generates easy-to-read auto-detection output. Once you are satisfied with your configuration, you can use the & directive at the end of the command line to tell the operating system to run the program in the background, and so detach from the command console. For example:

# drcif_ad -d dh3 -f ./c2.cfg &

Example

Specifying a configuration file:

# drcif_ad -f ./c2.cfg

Also specifying a datahub domain and a name for the driver:

# drcif_ad -d dh3 -f ./c2.cfg -n CifDriver02
