Startup Notes

The component cannot be launched directly from the command line of the operating system in an autonomous mode (autonomously from other components). It is launched automatically by the Dr.Web ConfigD configuration daemon at the startup of the operating system. To manage the operation of the component, as well as to connect Dr.Web for UNIX to central protection server, you can use the Dr.Web Ctl command-line-based management tool for Dr.Web for UNIX (it is called by using the drweb-ctl command).

To request documentation about this component of the product from the command line, use the following command man 1 drweb-esagent

 

Convention for Paths to Product Files

The product described in the present document is designed for operation in different UNIX-based operating system. Real paths to product files depend on the operating system installed on the user’s computer. For notational convenience, the following conventions are used:

•<opt_dir>—directory where main product files are located (including executable files and libraries).

•<etc_dir>—directory where the configuration file and a key file are located.

•<var_dir>—directory where supporting and temporary product files are located.

Real paths corresponding to the conventions in different operating systems are given in the table below.
