Configuration
Startup
ablax_ablass process will demonize itself (http://www.netzmafia.de/skripten/unix/linux-daemon-howto.html) There are some important options that can be passed to
- -d level debug mask. Default 0
- -f do not demonize, stay in background.
- -p pid_file store pid into pid_file file. Default: ./ablax_ablass.pid
- -c config_file path co configuration file. Default: ./ablax_ablass.cfg
- -l log_file path to log file. Default: ./ablax_ablass.log. - means to log only to stdout, implies -f
Debug mask
0 - no debug/log features
1 - debug general
2 - debug cycle''
3 - …
