Managing Feed Service using the script (Linux)

You can manage Feed Service with a script.

The %service_dir%/etc/init.d/kl_feed_service file is a script for managing Feed Service.

Command-line options

The script supports the following command-line options:

start—Starts the service.
The script prints the information about whether this operation succeeded or failed.

Note that Feed Service begins to receive events only after it has loaded the feeds into memory and has sent the KL_ALERT_ServiceStarted event to the event target software.
stop—Stops the service.
The script prints the information about whether this operation succeeded or failed.
reloaddb—Reload the feeds.
The script prints the information about whether this operation succeeded or failed.
status—Prints the information about the status of Feed Service.
restart—Restarts the service: stops it and starts it again.
reloadconfig—Reloads the configuration file of Feed Service.
You have to reload the configuration file or restart Feed Service after you edit the configuration file for the changes to take effect. If you edit the configuration file by using CyberTrace Web, reloading or restarting is not necessary. For more information about applying changes made to the configuration file, see section "About the configuration file (Feed Service)", subsection "Applying changes made to the configuration file".

You can use only one option at a time.

The script can also be launched without parameters. In this case, it prints the list of the available options and their descriptions.

Script parameters

You can edit the script to modify the values of various parameters. The parameters are described in the following table.
