Running the system
To run jFTAon some host or number of hosts, proceed as follows:
- 1.
- Get a copy of jfta/etc/jfta.properties and copy it to your
home directory. By default, configure should already have
done this, but you might need to edit one or more of the following
entries:
- fta_daemon_port
- fta_directory_server_host
- jftaroot
Refer to the section 2.4.3 for details.
- 2.
- Get a copy of jfta/etc/java.policy and copy it to your
home directory as tt .java.policy. By default,
configure should already have copied the file, but you might
have to adapt certain java.net.SocketPermission entries for
your own hosts.
- 3.
- Get a copy of jfta/etc/jfta.hosts and copy it to your
home directory. By default, configure should also have copied
this file, but you will have to add the list of your hosts to
participate in jFTAto this file, one host per line.
- 4.
- To run jFTAon a single host, run jfta/start_daemon from
a command window.
- 5.
- To run jFTAon a cluster of machines, ensure that all hosts run
the secure shell ssh and are configured appropriately, so that
ssh does not ask for passwords (it may, but then using the
start_cluster script will be annoying). Add all hosts belonging to
the cluster to ${HOME}/jfta.hosts (to be done once only)
and run the script jfta/start_cluster.
