1.3.4 Parameters and Options

tmscd accepts following parameters and options:

start|stop|status

Required. Starts, stops, or displays service contract dictionary settings for specific services, or all services if none are specified. A start or stop request for a service that has already activated or deactivated contract discovery is ignored. Effective service information is displayed when handling the requests.

Note:

start|stop|status must occur after -e and -f , if either of those options are specified.

[-e]

Specifies the service scope as a regular expression.

[-f <file>]

The service scope is defined in the given <file>. The file may contain sections to group related definitions together. All entries for a section must be written together line-by-line.

Empty lines or lines starting with '#' are ignored. Lines starting with '*' are section lines. Other lines are "id=content" definitions.

id1 id2 ...

Indicates one or more services. If -e is specified, a regular expression is used to match the service name. If -e is not specified, the service name is matched exactly.
