Description

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

[Note]

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
