Generally, FSE daemons/services are the processes that are running most of the time FSE is operating. An
FSE daemon/service is usually a server process with several sophisticated services. FSE agents are
software agents, and are designed to perform defined tasks required by each specific job.
Location of the binaries for FSE daemons/services and FSE agents is platform-dependent.
Linux specific
FSE daemon/service and agent binaries are located in the directory /opt/fse/lbin.
Windows specific
FSE daemon/service and agent binaries are located in the directory %InstallPath%\bin.
The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.
CAUTION: You should not run any of the binaries manually. Such improper use may cause data loss.
Windows specific: fse.exe is the binary of the fse command. It can be used for purposes described in
”FSE command list” on page 24.
