    Question

    How can multiple pc_servers (such as, 6991, 6992, and 6993) be started automatically by aleph_startup?

    Answer

    By default just a single pc_server is started in aleph_start:

         setenv PC_SERVER_PORT 699${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}

    To start multiple pc_servers, add the following lines to aleph_start.private:

         setenv PC_START_HOST "6991 6992 6993 6994 6995 6996 6997 6998"
         setenv PC_START_HOST "$PC_START_HOST 6999"

    [Note:  This second line is necessary only if there are more than 8 pc_servers to be started.]

     

    And change $alephe_root/aleph_startup as shown below:

     

            if  (! $?PC_START_HOST) then
                echo "starting pc_server... "
                csh -f $aleph_proc/pc_server $l_pc_server_port >& /dev/null &
                echo " "
            else
                foreach thishost ($PC_START_HOST)
                   echo "starting pc_server... "  $thishost
                   csh -f $aleph_proc/pc_server $thishost >& /dev/null &
                   echo " "
                end
            endif
