The acurcl -start command starts AcuConnect. On Windows servers, this option also installs AcuConnect as a Windows service, if it is not already installed. In addition, if no start-up options are stored, acurcl -start stores the start-up options to be used as the default options.
To use -start on a UNIX server, you must be logged in as root or superuser. On a Windows server, you must use -start from the administrator account or from an account that belongs to the administrators group.
Unless the-f option is specified, AcuConnect starts in background. If AcuConnect is already running, it outputs the following message:
acurcl is already running on hostname
and a new AcuConnect process is not started. If you want to start AcuConnect with new options, you must stop and then restart it.
See Starting AcuConnect for a detailed description of valid arguments to the "-start" command.
