There are three optional flags that can be used by BCC during startup that can help with troubleshooting:
Table 10-2 Optional Startup Flags
|
Startup Flag |
Description |
|---|---|
|
d |
Keeps the bccd from forking (keeps the process in foreground). Log messages are printed to the running terminal screen (stdout) along with the normal syslog. |
|
v |
Turns on more verbose logging. |
|
t |
Turns on tracing. With tracing turned on, certain sections of code that fail will report a message containing the condition that failed, along with a file and line number in the code indicating where the condition failed. This is helpful for reporting problems to Novell Support. |
There are two usage options:
To use the v and t flags, edit the /etc/init.d/novell-bcc file and change the NOVELL_BCCD_ARGS= line to NOVELL_BCCD_ARGS=-flags. Replace flags with any combination of v and/or t. This could include v, vt, t, or tv.
Do not use the d flag with this option.
Stop BCC by entering rcnovell-bccd stop or systemctl stop novell-bccd.service at the server console. Then restart it by entering /opt/novell/bcc/sbin/bccd -flags. Replace flags with any combination of v, t, or d.
