In Linux 
To manually start the SLP daemon, execute the following command: 
installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-server/HiCommandServer/wsi/bin/slpd.sh start 
To stop the SLP daemon, execute the following command: 
installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-server/HiCommandServer/wsi/bin/slpd.sh stop 
The following shows an example of executing the commands: 
# /opt/HiCommand/HiCommandServer/wsi/bin/slpd.sh start 
# /opt/HiCommand/HiCommandServer/wsi/bin/slpd.sh stop 
Notes on using OpenSLP 
The SLP service (or SLP daemon) of OpenSLP outputs operation logs to the 
following file: 
In Windows:
 %WINDIR%slpd.log# 
#%WINDIR% is replaced by the value of the environment variable WINDIR in 
Windows. Normally, the value is 
C:\WINNT\. 
In Linux: 
installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-
server/HiCommandServer/wsi/cfg/slp.log 
By default, only the start message at SLP service startup is output to the log 
file. Since the SLP service log output (or SLP daemon) accumulates as time 
elapses, if you use the SLP service (or SLP daemon) for an extended period of 
time, the log output may eventually use up a lot of disk space. To prevent this, 
you need to periodically back up the log file and clear the disk space.
