Notes about startup

The component cannot be run directly from the command line of the operating system in autonomous mode. It is run automatically by configuration daemon Dr.Web ConfigD when required (usually on operating system startup). To connect Dr.Web for UNIX servers with the central protection server, you can use the command-line tool for the solution management Dr.Web Ctl (is started by drweb-ctl command).

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 reside (including executable files and libraries).

<etc_dir> — directory where the configuration file and a key file reside.

<var_dir> — directory where supporting and temporary product files reside.

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