Windows:
When the Fileshare Server service starts, it is configured according to the Fileshare Server configuration file. By default, the service takes its configuration from %windir%\system32\fs.cfg, where %windir% is for example c:\winnt\system32. You can edit this file or create your own here or elsewhere.
The /cf option enables you to specify a configuration file containing the configuration options. For example, the following command installs a service called "Micro Focus Fileshare Service: My Service", which takes its configuration from the file c:\mydir\myfs.cfg:
fsservice -i "My Service" c:\mydir\myfs.cfg
To use a different working directory, specify this using the /wd option as the first entry in your configuration file. On start-up, Fileshare changes to your specified working directory and accesses any files that are not fully qualified as being relative to this working directory. For example, the following command installs a service called "Micro Focus Fileshare Service: My Service", which will execute in the c:\mydir directory:
fsservice -i "My Service" /wd c:\mydir /cf c:\mydir\myfs.cfg
Because Fileshare runs as a background process, any messages it generates are written to the file fsscreen.lst in the current working directory. Check the contents of this file to diagnose any problems.
Example:
The following is an example of a Fileshare Server configuration file:
/wd d:\fsdir
/s server1
/d dbase.ref
