Purpose
The mhttpd utility runs the MIDAS Web Server which allows the user to communicate with the experiment. It is used for run control.
Arguments
-p port : port number e.g. 8081 (no default) [-h] : connect to midas server (mserver) on given host [-e] : experiment to connect to [-v] : display verbose HTTP communication [-D] : starts program as a daemon [-E] : only display ELog system [-H] : only display history plots [-a] : only allow access for specific host(s). Several [-a Hostname] statements might be given [-help] : display usage information
Usage
The TCP/IP port number is required as an argument in order to listen to the web-based request.
mhttpd -p port [-h Hostname] [-e Experiment] [-v] [-D] [-c] [-a Hostname] e.g. mhttpd -p 8081 -D
Multiple copies
Several copies of mhttpd can run on a single host, as long as they are started on different ports.
If more than one experiment runs on the same host, a server for each experiment must be started on a different port, e.g.
mhttpd -e midas -p 8081 -D
mhttpd -e midgas -p 8082 -D
