The Windows server service program kfservntΒΆ
SYNTAX
kfservnt [-dlnqs] [-c P] [-k mins] [-m N] [-o secs] [-p LCS] [-t mins]
Command line options
-c P 2 |
Start kfserver with the specified process priority class. The priority P must be a value between 1 and 5. |
-d |
Write to the log file $SCULPTOR/log/kfservnt.log every time a client connects or disconnects. The file will grow very large if kfservnt is run for a long time with this option. |
-k mins |
This option is accepted for backward compatibility, but is (and always was) ignored. |
-l |
This option is accepted for backward compatibility, but is ignored, since version 6.1.0. It was previously used to makes file and record locking details available to the remote monitor program. This mode can be changed while kfservnt is not running by means of the Server Control window in the server management program. |
-m N 3 |
Start kfserver with the specified N retries when a mirror operations fails. By default the server does not retry any mirror operation (N=0) |
-n |
Creates a new, empty log file rather than appending to the existing one. |
-o secs 3 |
Sets the ODBC retry timeout, that forces a retry on a failed ODBC connection until the specified timeout (seconds) have passed. The default value is 0 meaning no retry operation is initiated. |
-p LCS 2 |
Start kfserver threads with the specified thread priority. Where L is listen thread priority, C are all the client threads priority and S is the thread priority when executing an sql command. The priority values must be a value between 1 and 5. |
-q 1 |
Turn off sql secure mode. The Sculptor security database is ignored for all sql executed though the SQL engine. |
-s |
Turn off secure mode. The Sculptor security database is ignored except for sql, see -q option. |
-t mins |
This option is accepted for backward compatibility, but is ignored. It was previously used to set the inactive timeout period. This is now done in the server management program kfsmonw (Server Control window). |

The kfservnt program is a version of the Sculptor server program kfserver that runs as a service on Windows Server platforms. A service is a background task and is usually set to start automatically when the system is booted. It does not require a user to be logged on.
kfservnt.exe runs in the background and processes connections from Sculptor clients, using the multi-threading facilities in Windows. The program works as a service and is not directly executable. Other than being a service, kfservnt behaves more or less identically to kfserver, and supports the same command line options.
The Setting up kfservnt section gives full instructions on creating an account, configuring kfservnt and starting the service.
The kfsmonw program is used to create, delete, start, stop, monitor and manage kfservnt, and displays the status of ports to all connected clients.
Once created, kfservnt can be set to start automatically when the system is booted.
Once the kfservnt service has been started, it will continue running irrespective of the logon status of the server. If kfsmonw is started when kfservnt is running, it will immediately detect the presence of the service and invoke the display of active ports. When kfsmonw is closed, the kfservnt service continues in its current state.
