Running the Engine

The engine.sh script follows the standard start/stop argument convention for system initialization scripts (“rc scripts”), so you can incorporate it in the start-up and shutdown sequence by inserting appropriate links in the /etc/rc.d files.

The engine.sh arguments are as follows:

engine.sh Arguments

Switch

Description

start

Starts the Engine

stop

Stops the Engine

startfg

Starts the Engine, and runs it in the foreground. Useful for monitoring or debugging purposes.

By default, Engine uses default configuration. To change the default configuration, use config argument when starting the Engine:

./engine.sh start -config=configValue

or

./engines.sh startfg -config=configValue

Warning 

If you install a machine without a default route, the UNIX Engine returns 0.0.0.0 as the IP address. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 causes communication issues with the Manager. You must ensure that a default route is set for Engines to operate properly.
