Starting the Email Sending Daemon on a UNIX Server

The following procedure describes how to start the Email Sending Daemon on a UNIX server.

To start the Email Sending Daemon on a UNIX server

Open a window and navigate to the Email Sending Daemon install directory.
Enter and run the following command:
```
./tomcat-ctl.sh start &
```
Optionally, you can enter and run the following commands:
```
./tomcat-ctl.sh start &; tail -f logs/esd.log
```
Note: The first command (./tomcat-ctl.sh start &) launches the daemon. The second command (tail -f logs/esd.log) displays output to the esd log as it is running without generating a read lock on the file. A read lock would prevent these commands from working.
