Installing the Link Server Daemon on GNU/Linux

If you installed the database server daemon and want your GNU/Linux based server to support Windows clients, you must also install the link server daemon. This daemon runs through the user usabatch, so this user must be created prior to installing the daemon.

  1. In a terminal, enter the following command:

    $ sudo useradd -m usabatch

    $ sudo passwd usabatch

  2. When prompted, enter the password you want to assign to the user usabatch, then confirm it.

    The user usabatch is now created and can be used to run Harmony daemons.

  1. In a terminal, enter the following command to enable the link server daemon:

    $ sudo chkconfig toonboom_link_srv on

    If the command returns nothing, it succeeded. The link server will launch next time you boot the machine.

  2. To launch the link server daemon immediately, run the following command:

    $ sudo service toonboom_link_srv start

    The command will report whether it succeeded or failed.

  1. In a terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installation package.

    $ cd ~/Downloads

  1. Extract the package's contents in the directory.

    $ tar -xvzf ./name-of-package.tar.gz

  1. Switch to the directory in which the package's contents were extracted.

    $ cd name-of-package

  1. Run the installer with the -d parameter:

    $ sudo ./install -l

  2. When prompted, confirm that you want to proceed with the installation.

    The installation script will enable and start the link server daemon.
