    Now, Harvest can be started again.

    A reminder: Harvest consists of two components; the Gatherer which gathers the data on the server, indicates them, reprocesses them and makes them avaible for the Broker, that manages the data collected by the Gatherer and makes the data available for a user with an input interface.

    Both components can be started manually and managed separatly.


    Starting the Gatherer

    Change into the directory

        $HARVEST_HOME/gatherers/$NAME...

    - to start the Gatherer in the background with

      nohup RunGatherer &

    When the Gatherer ran through (and therefore indicated all data on the defaulted lists), the Demon is started automatically by Harvest, that now is running permanently in the background.

    If this Demon without which the Broker can not run well, does not run anymore for some reason (e.g. because the server was disconnected), it can be started manually with

      RunGatherd

    It is recommended to start the Gatherer frequently directly from the crontab-file.

    To keep controll of the Gatherd Deamon process(es), there is a script available in the controll package.

    Starting the Broker

    If the Gatherer-Demon runs, the corresponding (given in admin/Collection.conf) Broker can be started.

    Change into the directory

    $HARVEST_HOME/brokers/$BROKER_NAME...

    - and start the Broker with the command

    RunBroker

    To keep controll of the Broker and Glimpse processes, there is a script available in the controll package.
