Start servers from a character-based interface

Use a character-based interface to start the servers.

Configure a server to start when TCP/IP starts

To configure a server to start when TCP/IP starts, follow these steps:

  1. At the command line, type CHGxxxA where xxx is the name of the server. For example, CHGFTPA to work with the attributes of the FTP server.
  2. For the Autostart servers prompt, type *YES. This will start the number of servers you indicate in the Number of initial servers prompt.
  3. Specify either the STRTCP (Start TCP/IP) command or the STRTCPSVR SERVER (*AUTOSTART) command to automatically start the server.

Start a server manually

This example shows how to start certain types of TCP servers. See the server table for a list of servers and the commands you can use to start them. To manually start a server, follow these steps:

  1. At the command line, type STRTCPSVR, and press F4 (Prompt).
  2. For the Server application prompt, specify the servers you want to start, and press Enter.
