Generally, FSE daemons (services) are the processes that are running most of the time FSE is operating. An FSE daemon (service) is usually a server process with several sophisticated services. FSE agents are software agents, and are designed to perform defined tasks required by each specific job.
The location of the binaries for FSE daemons (services) and FSE agents is
Linux specific
FSE daemon and agent binaries are located in the directory /opt/fse/lbin.
Windows specific
FSE service and agent binaries are located in the directory %InstallPath%\bin.
The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to
C:\Program
CAUTION: You should not manually run any of the daemon (service) binaries or agent binaries. Such improper use may cause data loss.
Windows specific: On Windows systems, the service and agent binaries can be easily distinguished from the FSE commands by a hyphen
The FSE daemons (services) and FSE agents are listed in the following table.
