Hybrid for Linux installation process does not automatically update any system

Starting the ASAP Hybrid for Linux
Server
The ASAP Hybrid for Linux server is a daemon and is responsible for providing
ASAP services to the API. It must be running in order for any client to register a
domain and also to forward domain metrics to the ASAP subsystem running on
the NonStop hosts. If the server is not running, client applications can still run,
but they cannot register domains, and metric values are not communicated to
NonStop ASAP.

startup and stopped at system shutdown. However, you can also start the server
manually or via a script as needed.

command at a shell prompt:
./asapxserver [-conf=<config file name>]
where <config file name> is the fully-qualified name of the server configuration
file. The command returns immediately. This outcome is normal. Because the
ASAP Hybrid for Linux server is a daemon, it does not communicate directly with
any tty device. The server remains running until the Linux system is shut down or
until the server process itself is explicitly stopped via a system signal.
