These scripts start the Communication Server on the command line in console mode. These scripts are useful for debugging the Communication Server without requiring you to run the rest of Sentinel Server.

NOTE: During normal operations, you should not use these scripts. Instead, follow the procedures in the section "Starting a Sentinel Server". If you use these scripts on Windows, for example, the service will only run as long as the Command Prompt window remains open.

To start the Communication Server (Windows):

  1. Either go or navigate through Windows Explorer to:

%ESEC_HOME%\bin

  1. Either double-click on (through Windows Explorer) or execute the following file:

start_broker.bat

To start the Communication Server (UNIX):

  1. Login as Sentinel Administrator operating system user (default is esecadm).

  2. Go to:

$ESEC_HOME/bin

  1. Enter:

./start_broker.sh
