gwia - GroupWise Internet Agent
gwia [--show] --home gateway_directory gwia [--show] @startup_file gwia [--show] --dhome SMTP_directory gwia [--show] --hn hostname
The GroupWise Internet Agent enables you to send and receive messages over the Internet.
You can provide Internet Agent startup switches on the command line or in a startup file. At startup, the Internet Agent reads its startup file, gwia.cfg. It is located in the /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/share directory.
Points the Internet Agent to the Internet Agent’s gateway directory. Normally, this is the domain_directory/wpgate/gwia directory.
Specifies the location of the Internet Agent startup file, which is gwia.cfg by default. The Internet Agent looks for gwia.cfg in the /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/share directory.
Points to the SMTP service work area. This is normally the same as the Internet Agent’s gateway directory (domain_directory/wpgate/gwia).
Provides the hostname that is displayed when someone connects to your Internet Agent via a Telnet session. You should enter the hostname assigned to you by your Internet service provider. Normally, the Internet Agent can get the information from another source and does not need this switch. If you receive a message that the --hn switch is required, you must use the switch.
Starts the Internet Agent with a user interface similar to that provided for the NetWare and Windows Internet Agent. By default, no user interface is provided for the Internet Agent on Linux. The --show startup switch can only be used on the command line; it cannot be placed in the startup file.
Displays the help information and exits.
Startup file where startup switches are specified.
Log file where error messages are written.
By default, this program runs as root, but it is preferable to run it as a non-root user. See the GroupWise Installation Guide to set up the Internet Agent to run as a non-root user.
Start the Internet Agent by specifying its gateway directory in the domain.
Start the Internet Agent by specifying its startup file.
Run the Internet Agent with a user interface.
If you have used the --show startup switch, error messages are displayed in the Log Message box of the Internet Agent server console where it is running. By default, error messages are also written to the Internet Agent log file located in the /var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.gwia directory.
Log files are named according to the date they are created. If the Internet Agent restarts during the day, the file extension indicates which session is logged (for example 0518gwia.003 indicates the third session logged for May 18).
