SunVTS 3.0 User's Guide

Starting the SunVTS Kernel and Interface Separately

The sunvts command starts both the SunVTS kernel and the user interface that is appropriate your a given configuration. However, there are commands that you can use to start just the SunVTS kernel, or to specify a specific user interface.

To Start the SunVTS Kernel (vtsk)

The vtsk command starts the SunVTS kernel. You can use command-line options (see Table 3-3 below) to control the behavior of this command.

The vtsk command-line syntax and options are listed below:

Table 3-3 The vtsk Syntax

/opt/SUNWvts/bin/vtsk [-epqsv] [-o options_file] [-f logfile_directory]

Argument 

Description 

-e

Disables the connection permission checking feature 

-f logfile_directory*

Specifies an alternative to the default logfile directory (/var/opt/SUNWvts/logs)

-o options_file

Starts the SunVTS kernel with the test options saved in the options_file; these options are saved and stored in the /var/opt/SUNWvts/options directory

-p

Starts the SunVTS kernel, but does not probe test system devices 

-q

Quits both the SunVTS kernel and the user interface when testing is complete 

-s

Starts testing a selected group of tests; this flag must be used with the -o options_file flag

-v

Displays only the version information from the SunVTS kernel, vtsk; this option does not start the vtsk daemon

 

* If the -f option is exercised when running SyMON, a logfile directory cannot be created.

To Start a Specific SunVTS User Interface

In most cases, when you use the sunvts command, the appropriate SunVTS user interface is started. For situations when you want to start a specific user interface without starting the SunVTS kernel, use one of the following:

To start the CDE interface:

# /opt/SUNWvts/bin/vtsui

To start the OPEN LOOK interface:

# /opt/SUNWvts/bin/vtsui.ol

To start the TTY interface:

# /opt/SUNWvts/bin/vtstty

In all cases, the user interface attempts to connect to the SunVTS kernel.

Note -

You do not need to be superuser to start a SunVTS user interface.
