Verifying a server is running

In UNIX, you can verify that the host server or the security server is running with the process status command (ps) and grep for hci.

In Windows, verify that the host server or the security server are running by checking Task Manager for these:

  • System service: hciservice
  • Security server: hcisecurityserver
  • Host server: hcihostserver

In UNIX or Windows, you can verify that the host server or security server is running with of these methods:

  • From the command line, specify hciss .
  • Change to the \clgui\bin subdirectory of your system root directory and run this command hcireglist host port.
    • host is the name or IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer system. To identify the local computer, use hostname.
    • port is the port number of the port that the host server uses for TCP/IP communications. By default, the port number is 13021.

For example, hcireglisthostname13021 enables the hcireglist utility. This is included in the host server installation.

This utility lists the contents of an RMI registry for a specific port on the computer system. RMI is the communications protocol that provides communication between the security server, host server, and client. If hcireglist lists the RMI registry for a security server or a host server, then that server is running.

Although the hcireglist utility is included only in host server installations, it can be copied to the security server or to clients. It must be placed into the \clgui\bin subdirectory of your system root directory.
