cflowd configuration: starting cflowd

## 3. starting cflowd

## 3.1 starting cflowdmux

`cflowdmux` should be started before `cflowd`. It can be started with no arguments, in which case it will use a compiled-in default as the configuration file name (typically `/usr/local/arts/etc/cflowd.conf`). It will also accept an explicit configuration file name as the first argument. Examples:

      % cflowdmux

would start `cflowdmux` using the compiled-in default configuration file.

      % cflowdmux /etc/cflowd.conf

would start `cflowdmux` using `/etc/cflowd.conf` as the configuration file.

## 3.2 starting cflowd

After starting `cflowdmux`, you should start `cflowd`. Like `cflowdmux`, `cflowd` will use a compiled-in default configuration file (typically `/usr/local/arts/etc/cflowd.conf`) if given no arguments. It will also accept an explicit configuration file name as the first argument. Examples:

      % cflowd

would start `cflowd` using the compiled-in default configuration file.

      % cflowd /etc/cflowd.conf

would start `cflowd` using `/etc/cflowd.conf` as the configuration file.
