2.1. Starting up

You start the Cascade Historian at a shell, using the command histdb and specifying any of its command options. For example, to start the Cascade Historian in the domain mydomain, giving it a name Hist, with a configuration file hs.cfg, you would type the following at the command prompt:

    [sh]$ histdb -d mydomain -n Hist -f hs.cfg

If you are using the Cascade Historian with the Cascade DataHub, the datahub must be running, along with the Cascade QueueServer (qserve) and the Cascade NameServer (nserve). For more information on these, see the documentation on the Cascade DataHub and the Cogent API and Utilities.
