Managing Vsrvtcp on HPUX

UNIX Configuration for TCP/IP

Visimage for Windows communicates with the AskPlus host server via a TCP/IP connection. Once AskPlus has been installed, you need to activate a process as a listener for Visimage for Windows. You must login as askplus to perform these steps.

Validating the Listener

Before you can connect, you will need to make sure that the listener has been validated. Enter the following command to display the current status:

/ASKPLUS/vsrvtcp -ig

The current status and installation number will be displayed. If necessary, contact Vital Soft (support@vital-soft.com or 800-848-2576) to request a validation number. To enter the new validation number type:

/ASKPLUS/vsrvtcp -is

Once you have entered the validation, check the status again.

Starting the Listener

The listener process can be launched by typing:

 /ASKPLUS/vsrvtcp >/dev/null

To verify that the process is running, use the ps command as follows:

 ps -ef | grep vsrvtcp

To verify that it is waiting for a connection, use the following command:

 netstat -a | grep askplus

The process should be in a LISTEN state.
