Server Commands

The following table describes the Boomerang server commands.

`-access`	Used to create an access file. See Creating and Maintaining the Server Access File in the AcuServer User's Guide or Executing Non-COBOL Programs on the Client in the AcuConnect User's Guide for more information.
`-alias`	Used to create an alias. See Step 1 Creating an Alias File for details on this command.
`-c configuration- filename`	Specifies the configuration file that should be used by Boomerang. If the -c option is not specified, Boomerang will use the file specified by the environment variable, A_BOOMERANGCFG. If neither the `-c` or `A_BOOMERANGCFG` are specified, the default boomerang.cfg file is used.
`-e error-filename`	Specifies the error file for the Boomerang server.
`-f`	Runs the Boomerang server in the foreground.
`-kill [-n port]`	Stops the Boomerang server. You can optionally specify the port.
`-start [-n port]`	Starts the Boomerang server. You can optionally specify the port.
`-t #`	Turns on the tracing function. When combined with the `-e` option, trace information is placed in the named error file. The `#` represents the type of tracing or logging to be performed. 1 -- provides information about access file match attempts. The trace information buffer is flushed to the error file when the buffer is filled or Boomerang terminates. 2 -- provides information about client requests. The buffer is flushed to the error file when the buffer is filled or Boomerang terminates. 3 -- provides the information described for `1` and `2`. 5 -- is equivalent to `1`, but the tracing buffer is flushed to the error file each time an access file match is requested. (File trace flushing can also be controlled with the `FILE_TRACE_FLUSH` server configuration variable.) 6 -- is equivalent to `2`, but the tracing buffer is flushed to the error file each time a client connection is requested. 7 -- provides the information described for `5` and `6`.
