How to start CumulusMX with dotnet in linux

[avvy65]

Thanks, and I have got CumulusMX 4022 running. I had to use sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll to do so.

I'll add it as a service later.

I just tried adding it as a service and now get this error :
Invalid command line argument "[port"

This my line: sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll -install -user rob [-port 8998 ]
I removed [-port 8998] as the valid argument of port defaults to 8998 , and now Cumulus is running as a service.
I take it that means it will now run automatically with no user input.

Don't use the square brackets: they indicate optional arguments. When you use the argument you do not write the [ ]

And note my previous remark on the ownership of the files (root or other) with regard to the use of sudo.

I used square brackets because it did so in the link. What should I have done.

Maybe it could be explained what square brackets mean.
You're OK now, don't worry be happy.
Just remove the brackets in your commandline.

As I said I have added CumulusMX 4022 as a service, but after a reboot of my LM system, nothing happened. When the desktop came back CumulsMX didn't launch, so I had to start it manually.
So what should have happened.

Thanks

Did you do this step?

To make the service start when you server boots, use the command:

Code: Select all

systemctl enable cumulusmx

[avvy65]

oops, no I didn't.
Done now tho'
Thanks

After anther restart of the system, cumulusmx still didn't start up. Oh well.
What else needs to be done to get it running without user input

See the screenshot, and it looks different from yours??

[rogerthn]

hmm??
Upload of latest MXdiags-file might help.
For those that understand what they contain

[avvy65]

Ok thanks.
I've zipped them up as a tar.gz file

[HansR]

Your MXdiags shows a ServiceConsoleLog.txt and a ServiceConsoleLog-Old.txt. The latter is from the first run which apparently has not been stopped so you are likely running two CMX instances at the same time.

And indeed the two logfiles are both updating. CMX (the 2nd instance) tried to stop the first but failed.
Check why it would start two instances at the startup of the machine.

If I were you I would stop both instance manually and restart.
Then see what happens.

What do you get from

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep CumulusMX | grep -v grep

[avvy65]

How do I check the 2 instances, or where.
While you mention it ,I noticed earlier when I started CumulusMX 4022 from a console, it did show 2 instances of Downloading Archive Data. It didn't do that yesterday.
Thanks
