Running Components as Daemons Note: Reviewed for release 2.0.0. Daemons are defined here. Running a component as a daemon To implement a component as a daemon (or Service under Win32), one approach is to simply do all the forking etc yourself. Alternatively, daemon support exists if your component derives from orcaice::Component and it can run as an IceBox service. To start an icebox as a daemon, simply add an command line option: $ icebox --Ice.Config=Xxxx --daemon See 'icebox --help' for more options. Logging to SysLog If your IceBox uses standard Ice services (such as IceStorm), start with '--Ice.UseSyslog=1' to get them to log information. For orcaice::Components, add something like the following to the .cfg file for logging: #Orca.Tracer.DebugToLog=5 Orca.Tracer.InfoToLog=5 Orca.Tracer.WarningToLog=5 Orca.Tracer.ErrorToLog=5 Orca.Tracer.OtherToLog=5 Orca.Tracer.HeartbeatToLog=5 Currently, orcaice::Tracer logging to SysLog is implemented for Unix only. Where logs get written Logs go to: /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages /var/log/user.log
