Synopsis

Description

This utility can be used to start the directory server, as well as to obtain the server version and other forms of general server information.

Options

The following options are supported.

-L, --useLastKnownGoodConfig

Attempt to start using the configuration that was in place at the last successful startup (if it is available) rather than using the current active configuration.

-N, --nodetach

Do not detach from the terminal and continue running in the foreground. This option cannot be used with the -t, --timeout option.

-Q, --quiet

Use quiet mode.

-s, --systemInfo

Display general system information.

-t, --timeout {seconds}

Maximum time (in seconds) to wait before the command returns (the server continues the startup process, regardless).

This option cannot be used with the -N, --nodetach option.

Default value: 200

-V, --version

Display version information.

-?, -H, --help

Display usage information.

Exit Codes

The command completed successfully.
