Starting gated

Starting gated

To start gated, complete the following steps:

1. Set the environment variable GATED to 1 in the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to start gated automatically upon system startup.

2. Reboot your system, or issue the following command to run the

gated startup script: /sbin/init.d/gated start

	You can also start gated by running the command gdc start. The
	following message appears to indicate that gated has started:
	gated started, pid 29777
	where 29777 is the process ID (pid) of the gated process. You can specify
	the command-line arguments for starting gated with the GATED_ARGS
	environment variable in the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. Table 3-4
	lists the commonly used command-line options for gated.
Table 3-4	Command Line Options for gated
	Flag	Effect
	-t	When used alone, -tcauses gated to log all error messages
		and route changes. It turns on the general trace option
		automatically. When -tis followed by one or more trace
		options, only those options are turned on. (See “Specifying
		Tracing Options” on page 92 for more information.)
		Multiple trace options are separated by commas. The -t
		flag must immediately precede the other flags.
	-C	Specifies that the configuration file will be parsed for
		syntax errors. gated exits with a status of 1 if there are
		any errors and 0 (zero) if there are no errors.
	-c	Specifies that the configuration file will be parsed for
		syntax errors. A dump file /var/tmp/gated_dump is
		created if there are no errors. Only the trace option
		general is logged. See “Specifying Tracing Options” on
		page 92 for a detailed description of all the tracing options.
