Hi Brian, 2011/3/12 Brian Bockelman <[log in to unmask]>: > Accordingly, in the separate packaging efforts of Lukasz and I, we have one one service per xrootd daemon: xrootd, cmsd, frm_purged, frm_xfrd. This, however, doesn't play nicely with multiple instances: it's not possible to have a server and a manager and a proxy all on one host. My scripts do support multiple instances of daemons. In the sysconfig file you can define: XROOTD_SECOND_OPTIONS= and XROOTD_THIRD_OPTIONS= or as many of them as you want and then you can either add them to the XRD_INSTANCES list which makes it possible to start them with classical: service xrootd start or you can just handle them by name: service xrootd start third second service xrootd stop main The same goes for other daemons. Cheers, Lukasz
