| 7 | .SH SYNOPSIS |

| 10 | .B startsms |
| 11 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 12 | The SMS server |
| 13 | must be running on the machine hosting the SMS database for any of the |
| 14 | SMS clients to function. Rather than invoke |
| 15 | .B smsd |
| 16 | directly, it is started by |
| 17 | .B startsms, |
| 18 | which starts the daemon running in the proper working directory and |
| 19 | captures logging messages. |
| 20 | .PP |
| 21 | Logging is done to standard output. |
| 22 | How much gets logged by |
| 23 | .B smsd |
| 24 | is controlled by the variable |
| 25 | .I log_flags |
| 26 | which is compiled into the file |
| 27 | .I sms_srvdata.c. |
| 28 | If critical errors are detected, they are logged to |
| 29 | .B /u1/sms/critical.log |
| 30 | and in a zephyrgram to class |
| 31 | .B SMS |
| 32 | instance |
| 33 | .B SMS |
| 34 | in addition to standard output. |
| 35 | Also, a journal file is kept in |
| 36 | .B /u1/sms/journal |
| 37 | logging every successful change of the database in a format that can |
| 38 | be replayed by |
| 39 | .I smstest(8). |
| 40 | For the server to be able to function properly, if must be run as root |
| 41 | and root must have access to the tables through RTI Ingres. |
| 42 | .PP |
| 43 | .B startsms |
| 44 | sets its working directory to the root, disconnects from the terminal |
| 45 | and puts itself in the background. It then starts |
| 46 | .B /u1/sms/bin/smsd, |
| 47 | and will capture lines the server writes to standard output and log them |
| 48 | in |
| 49 | .B /u1/sms/sms.log |
| 50 | along with a timestamp. |
| 51 | .B startsms |
| 52 | will also log the exit status of the |
| 53 | .B smsd |
| 54 | if it is non-zero. |
