mrouted is started from the HP-UX prompt or from within a shell script by issuing the following command:

/etc/mrouted [-p] [-c config_file] [-d debug_level]

The -p option disables pruning by overriding a pruning on statement within the /etc/mrouted.conf configuration file. This option should be used only for testing.

The -c option overrides the default configuration file /etc/mrouted.conf. Use config_file to specify the alternate configuration file.

The -d debug_level option specifies the debug level. debug_level can be in the range 0 to 3. Refer to the "Invocation" section of the mrouted (1m) man pages for an explanation of the debug_level values.

Regardless of the debug level, mrouted always writes warning and error messages to the system log daemon. These messages can be retrieved from the system log file, syslog.log, usually located in the directory/var/adm/syslog.

For convenience in sending signals, mrouted writes its pid to /var/tmp/mrouted.pid when it starts.
