Starting and Configuring the ION Daemon

ION Java User's Guide: Configuring ION Java

Starting and Configuring the ION Daemon

The ION Daemon is a process that listens to a specified socket port, waiting for a communication request. Once a connection is received and verified, the daemon starts up an ION Server process, connects the client to the server process and waits for further connection requests.

Note
If you are unfamiliar with ION Java, it may be helpful to refer to Overview of ION Java for information regarding general ION Java architecture, including an overview of the ION server/client relationship and the ION Daemon before beginning the configuration process.

ION provides a set of utility programs that allow you start, configure and manage the ION Daemon. See the following section for your platform:

On UNIX platforms, run the utility programs from the shell prompt. See Configuring ION Java for UNIX for more information.

On Windows platforms use the GUI utilities described in the section. Configuring ION Java for Windows.

All utilities and command-line programs discussed in this chapter are located in the following platform directory:

Windows: ITT_DIR\idl64\products\ion64\ion_java\bin

UNIX: ITT_DIR/ion64/ion_java/bin

where ITT_DIR is the directory in which you installed ION.
