NAME
flixd - Flix encoding daemon
SYNOPSIS
flixd
[ -d ] [ -p port ] [ -i interface ] [ -r ] [ --max-sessions snct
] [ --authdir path ] [ --pidfile file ] [ --logfile file ] [ --loglevel
level ]
flixd [ -h ] [ -v ]
DESCRIPTION
flixd
is
an
rpc-based flix encoding server. As such, portmap MUST be
running for it to operate. The port and interface to listen on
can
be
specified
using
the
--port and --interface options. By default flixd
will allow the rpc service to bind to any available port and interface.
A port is usually specified to bypass the necessity for a connection to
portmap by a client.
By
default
flixd
will
allow
an
unlimited
(except
by
available
resources)
number
of encoding sessions. This behavior can be modified
by specifying the --max-sessions option with a count >0.
Any
sessions
that start an encode after the count is reached will be queued.
flixd
will
look for authentication files (flixengine.lic, provided by
On2 at the time of install) in the user’s home directory unless a
path
is specified with the --authdir option. The default install location is
$HOME/.on2.
flixd can be stopped by sending it the TERM
signal.
The
pid
can
be
stored for this purpose in a file by giving the --pidfile option.
By default, when running as a daemon, flixd will log using syslog(3). A
log file can be specified by using the --logfile option.
The amount of
logging can be adjusted using the --loglevel option.
