ANTMAN uses a configuration file to store runtime parameters.
Initialisation
Start by adding a white list:
antman --setWhiteList=misc/data/NiV_6_Malaysia.fasta
We can also update the watch directory:
antman --setWatchDir=/Users/willrowe/Desktop
Or change the log file:
antman --setLog=newlog.txt
Start/stop the daemon
To start:
antman --start
Or you can provide all the previous commands in one:
antman --setWhiteList=misc/data/NiV_6_Malaysia.fasta --setWatchDir=/Users/willrowe/Desktop antman --setLog=newlog.txt --start
To stop:
antman --stop
Notes
- The order you provide the flags doesn't matter. The commands will always follow a hierarchy: stop, config changes, start.
- Any config changes will implicitly first stop any running daemon before making changes. If this happens, the daemon will then be restarted (unless --stop was included in the command).
