8.2.3 Start Status Codes

Whenever you try to start AcuServer, either by the "acuserve -start" command or the ACP, AcuServer returns a status to the operating system indicating success or failure. The way to get this status depends on your shell. When using the Bourne shell (or a compatible shell), echo $? to see the return status of any program executed from the shell.

The return codes are as follows:

Return Code	Description
0	Success. AcuServer is running.
1	Invalid argument.
2	Missing license.
3	Expired license.
4	Unable to open the error log file.
5	Unable to open the configuration file (writable by other than root).
6	Unable to open the AcuAccess file (missing or writable by other than root).
7	Unable to create a child process.
8	Too many servers running.
9	Unable to create a socket, but the socket is used by something other than AcuServer.
10	AcuServer is already running on this port.
