HP UX 11i v2 Networking Software manual Starting and Stopping OSI, Osistart Command

NOTE

Using OSI and OTS Tools

Starting and Stopping OSI

Starting and Stopping OSI

Occasionally, while configuring, verifying, or troubleshooting any of the OSI products, you'll need to start or stop the OSI products. Use the commands described here.

osistart Command

Execute the osistart command from the system prompt. Use it to start services, such as FTAM and X.400 along with the OTS component and whatever links are being used. Issue the osistart command with no options.

You can start the services separately by using the -soption. This also starts the OTS and link components (if necessary). For example:

osistart -s x400

For more details on the osistart command and its options, refer to the HP-UX online man pages.

If you make OTS configuration changes via osiadmin to start OTS automatically, OTS/9000 is automatically started when the system is booted. Thus, OTS is usually up and will rarely (if ever) be started by osistart. See “OSIADMIN” on page 72 for the list of tools that osistart uses to start the OSI stack. If you don’t make the configuration changes using osiadmin, you must use otsstart manually to start OTS.
