Startup Notes

The component cannot be run directly from the command line of the operating system in an autonomous mode (autonomously from other components). It is run automatically by the configuration daemon Dr.Web ConfigD when required (usually on operating system startup). To manage component operation, you can use the command-line tool for Dr.Web for UNIX management (it is started by drweb-ctl command).

To request documentation about this component of the product from the command line, use the following command:

man 1 drweb-snmpd

 

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.

Operating System

Real path

GNU/Linux

<opt_dir>

/opt/drweb.com

<etc_dir>
