Discovery Script Command Line Options¶

The discovery script provides basic features to start, stop and check the status of a running discovery search engine. The discovery script used to start an engine should be a symlink to the actual discovery script located in the bin directory of the engine version’s releases directory.

If you have set up your directory structure per Transparensee’s recommendations, to run discovery, change working directory to the engine directory of the instance before starting the script:. This example changes working directories to the production engine instance, then starts the engine:

$ cd ~discovery/engines/production
$ ./discovery start

For information on setting the discovery engine, the releases directory and the engines directory, refer to Engine and Data Tool Installation for UNIX Variants.

The options available for discovery are:

• start
• stop
• status
• kill
• restart
• threads
