isCOBOL Client Listener usage

The isCOBOL Client listener is activated on the client machine with the following command:

iscclientd { [-displayport dport] } [-port port] [-x]

•	dport is the port on the client machine that will be used to communicate between the UNIX shell and the Client Listener (by default it’s 10998).

•	-x is equivalent of -displayport 6000. The port 6000 is necessary to take advantage of the X11 Tunneling, explained in Configuring Putty to use isCOBOL Client Listener .

Note: In order for the -x option to work correctly, any other X11 services must be turned off. Otherwise you may experience unexpected behaviors.

•	port is the port used for connecting to the isCOBOL Server (by default it’s 10999)

A correct startup will produce an output similar to this:

Starting client listener on hostname: localhost, on display port: 10998, AS port: 10999

The isCOBOL Client listener can be launched in the following alternate way to avoid taking the console busy:

isclientd { [-displayport dport] } [-port port]             [-x]

Once started, the isCOBOL Client listener is identified by an icon in the system tray.

Right click on the icon to show a pop-up menu with the following options:

•	Info: Display a balloon with the result of the Client Listener startup.

•	About: Display a balloon with version information.

•	Exit: Closes the Client Listener.
