This chapter describes how to start and control the dgrey daemon.
When dgrey is installed properly, the init.d script is used to start the daemon, usually like this:
/etc/init.d/dgrey start
You can also start dgrey directly using its executable, like this:
/usr/sbin/dgrey --config-file /etc/dgrey/config
Note however that dgrey will not detach when starting it this way.
You can use the dgrey-cmd command to issue commands to dgrey and monitor its current status. See Controlling the Daemon.
