Running the Micetro components on Linux

After installation, all Micetro components are configured as system processes available through systemctl. Only use systemctl to stop, (re)start, and query the status of the components:

systemctl status|start|stop|restart mmcentral
systemctl status|start|stop|restart mmremote

You can set several options when starting Micetro Central (by default /usr/sbin/mmcentral):

-ll <level>	Micetro Central sends event messages to the system log. You can change the log level for Micetro Central by using the –ll command line option when starting the daemon. Possible levels are 0–5 (the default value is 3).
-p <port>	Set port number to listen to (default 1231).
-u <user>	Specifies the user name or user ID that the program should run as.
-g <group>	Specifies the group name or group ID that the program should run as.
-d <path>	Sets the path where the data files should be located (the default path is /var/mmsuite/mmcentral).
-v	Displays version information.
–h	Displays available command line options for Micetro Central.

For example:

mmcentrald -p 9876 -ll 5 -d /temp/data
