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 wish 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 wish 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 your crontab. |
