2.0 Running the client in silent mode
It may be desirable to run the client in the background; that is, to close the Terminal window that it is running in, but have it continue processing. There are two ways of doing this : either temporarily, or by default.
1. To always run in silent mode, first stop any running clients :
./dnetc -shutdown
Then open the configuration menu :
./dnetc -config
Select the General Client Options menu, and go to option number 10* (Run detached/disable all screen output). Enable this option. Note that if you are running the client in silent mode, you may wish to enable logging, so that you can check its activity. This is option 4 on the main menu (Logging Options). When you are finished, save and quit.
Finally, start the client using the command :
./dnetc
This will start the now-silent client into the background. You may then close Terminal if you wish.
2. To run in silent mode just once, first stop any running clients :
./dnetc -shutdown
Then start the client again with the following switch :
./dnetc -quiet
This will start the now-silent client into the background. You may then close Terminal if you wish. Similarly, if you have configured the client to always run quiet as above, you can prevent it from doing so with the -noquiet switch.
