5.1 CCS: Starting a Server

A CONVERSE program is started using

charmrun pgmname +pN charmrun-opts pgm-opts

charmrun also accepts the CCS options:

++server: open a CCS server on any TCP port number

++server-port=$port$: open the given TCP port as a CCS server

++server-auth=$authfile$: accept authenticated queries

As the parallel job starts, it will print a line giving the IP address and TCP port number of the new CCS server. The format is: ``ccs: Server IP = $ip$, Server port = $port$ $'', where $ip$ is a dotted decimal version of the server IP address, and $port$ is the decimal port number.
