Starting SLP on Linux, Solaris, and AIX

1. Become the root user:

% su root

2. Check that the SLP daemon is not already started:

# ps -eaf | grep slpd

3. Start the SLP daemon, if one is not already started:

# /agent/bin/slpd

Stopping SLP on Linux, Solaris, and AIX

1. Become the root user:

% su root

2. Find the process ID for the SLP daemon:

# ps -eaf | grep slpd

3. Stop the SLP daemon process, if found:

# kill -9

An SLP log file can be found at:

/agent/cfg/slp.log

The SLP daemon can be reconfigured by modifying the following file:

/agent/cfg/slp.conf

Applications that do not dynamically register themselves with SLP using SLPAPIs can instead
register statically by modifying the following file:

/agent/cfg/slp.reg

For more information about these files, read the comments contained in them, or read:

http://www.openslp.org/doc/html/UsersGuide/index.html

Verifying that the SLP service is correctly installed and operating

1. Become the root user:

% su root

2. Verify that the SLP service is properly running as a Service Agent (SA):

# /agent/bin/slptool findsrvs service:service-agent

3. Verify that the SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM services:

# /agent/bin/slptool findsrvs service:wbem

4. Verify that the SLP service is properly advertising the WBEM SLP template over its configured

client protocol adapters.

NOTE

Change the IP Address:Port to those displayed by slptool findsrvs service:wbem:
