The following options determine the mode of operation for the Platform Receiver.: -i, -c, -p, -f, and -r. They are mutually exclusive. If none of them is present, the mode of operation specified by the RUNMODE statement in the platform configuration file is used. If there is no RUNMODE statement, the Platform Receiver uses Persistent Mode.

For details about the platform configuration file, see Section 10.0, The Platform Configuration File.
Receiver scripts for Linux/UNIX platforms are implemented as shell scripts. The Platform Receiver runs the Receiver scripts from ASAM/bin/PlatformServices/PlatformReceiver/scripts. The installation process stores the base scripts in subdirectories of the scripts directory. For information about Receiver scripts, see Receiver Scripts.
The Linux/UNIX Platform Receiver writes messages to log files in the SYSLOG facility specified by the SYSLOGFACILITY statement in the platform configuration file. Log messages are documented in the Messages Reference.
