Windows Platforms

On Windows platforms, go to Start -> Programs -> Identyx -> Penrose Server x.x.x -> Penrose Server.
If you need to stop the server simply press Ctrl-C on the server window.

You can also run Penrose Server from the command line. Go to PENROSE_SERVER_HOME/bin, execute:

.\penrose-server.bat {start|stop|-d}

NOTE: adding a "-d" argument will start Penrose with DEBUG mode on. In this mode, if you need to stop the server simply press Ctrl-C on the server window.

Command Line Mode (Linux/Unix/OS X)

for a Daemon demo (runs in a background) , go to PENROSE_SERVER_HOME/bin, execute:

sudo ./penrose-server.sh {start|stop}

for an interactive mode (runs in a foreground), go to PENROSE_SERVER_HOME/bin, execute:

./penrose-server.sh {-d}

NOTE: adding a "-d" argument will start Penrose with DEBUG mode on. In this mode, if you need to stop the server simply press Ctrl-C on the server window.

Adding JVM Options

If you need to add JVM options (e.g. setting heap size) you can edit the PENROSE_OPTS variable in the Penrose startup script. On Windows platforms edit PENROSE_SERVER_HOME/bin/penrose-server.bat:

@echo off

set PENROSE_OPTS=...

On other platforms edit PENROSE_SERVER_HOME/bin/penrose-server.sh:

#!/bin/sh

PENROSE_OPTS=...

Note that there should be no spaces right before and after the "=" sign.
