Administering the CommKit Software and the STREAMS Listener

Starting and Stopping the TLI Listener

To start the TLI Listener, you use the same dkitrc script that you use to start

and stop the CommKit server. To start the TLI Listener, enter this command:

# dkitrc dkstart

To start a speciﬁc TLI Listener, use the -i option followed by an interface

number. For example, to start the listener on interface 2, enter:

# dkitrc dkstart -i 2

As you know, you can stop the listener and the CommKit servers by entering

# dkitrc stop

To stop an individual listener without stopping the CommKit server, use the

nlsadmin command:

# nlsadmin -k

netSpec

This command uses the network speciﬁcation associated with the listener

(for example, dktp0), as explained in the previous section.
