Launch Alignak-App¶

On Linux¶

Once you have install Alignak-app, just run alignak-app.py file. This file should be located in:

# If install by pip as user
$HOME/.local/alignak_app/bin/alignak-app.py
# If install by pip as root
/usr/local/alignak_app/bin/alignak-app.py

To launch application use --start:

/usr/local/alignak_app/bin/alignak-app.py --start

If you have set environment variables for application, they will be added to the generated daemon script (see Environment Variables).

To generate an Alignak-app daemon file, use --install:

/usr/local/alignak_app/bin/alignak-app.py --install

Once installed, just run:

alignak-app start

Here is the available commands:

alignak-app {start|stop|status|restart}

With no parameters, this will display help and your environment variables configuration.

Note: To generate a new daemon file with other environment, just run alignak-app.py --start again with your new environment variables.

Just launch Alignak-app vX.x shorcut on your desktop or run the alignak-app.exe located in C:\Program Files\Alignak-app\.

If you install from sources or with pip, you just have to launch the alignak-app.py in bin folder:

python c:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\alignak_app\bin\alignak-app.py --start

Obviously, it requires to keep an open command prompt on Windows.

Note: There is no daemon available on Windows, please use provided setup.
