Is the Server Running?

It is worthwhile to verify that the server is actually running. You can do this easily by entering the following command at the system command prompt:

ps -ef | grep lmx

The system display should include the following (at a minimum):

root 3554 3452 Feb28 19:39 lmx.srv -s 1

root 3452 1 0 Feb28 5:03 lmx.ctrl

root 3568 1 0 Feb28 2:16 lmx.dmn

This display indicates that the three required server processes are in fact running, the daemon (lmx.dmn), the control process (lmx.ctrl) and at least one worker process (lmx.srv). You also may see other processes, such as lmx.browser and lmx.alerter.

Additional multiple worker processes, each with a unique number displayed at the end of the line, may be displayed. The server spawns new worker processes based on the number of clients supported by the server. As more client sessions are started, more lmx.srv processes may be started, each with a unique process ID and number. This is normal.

If the server is not running, use the net start server command at the command prompt.
