Building and Installation |
| 7 |
|
|
------------------------- |
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
|
|
After downloading and extracting ihost, configure and build as follows; |
| 10 |
|
|
|
| 11 |
|
|
./configure |
| 12 |
|
|
make |
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
Then install as root; |
| 15 |
|
|
|
| 16 |
|
|
make install |
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
You may which to use one of the following configure options to change |
| 19 |
|
|
aspects of this process; |
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |
|
|
--with-pid-file=FILE |
| 22 |
|
|
--with-max-udp-size=SIZE |
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
The first allows you to specify the location of the PID file. The second |
| 25 |
|
|
allows you to specify the maximum UDP packet size, although you shouldn't |
| 26 |
|
|
need to change this in normal circumstances. |
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
There are, of course, the usual GNU-style configure options; |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| 30 |
|
|
--prefix=PREFIX |
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
|
|
For more documentation on the installation process, please read the |
| 33 |
|
|
INSTALL document. |

|
Running ihost |
| 36 |
|
|
------------- |
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
Running ihost with the -h flag will provide a list of options. You will |
| 39 |
|
|
need to know the address and port number of your i-scream server's filter |
| 40 |
|
|
manager. These details should be given on the command line to ihost. |
| 41 |
|
|
|
| 42 |
|
|
You may which to run ihost as a daemon, and the ihostchk.sh script helps |
| 43 |
|
|
to ensure it's kept running. Alter the details at the top of this script |
| 44 |
|
|
and add it to cron. |
