Description

The arsignal utility forces an AR System server to load or reload information. The process can be run on any computer. The arsignald.log file located in the <ARSystem_Install_directory>\ARSystem\Arserver\Db\ folder collects the log of this utility.

(Windows) The arsignal.exe file is present in the <ARSystem_Install_directory>\ARSystem\ folder.

Synopsis

arsignal {-a | -b | -c | -d | -e | -g | -l | -m | -p | -u}

The server name identifies the server that is to reload information. If a TCP port is to be specified as well (needed if the server does not register with AR System Portmapper), it is appended to the server name, separated by a colon. The string sigArgument is applicable when using the -d, -p, or -u options.

To run the utility in Windows, run command prompt from the folder where arsignal.exe is present. The following image shows an example of running the arsignal utility in Windows:

    I noticed that the " -r " option, which causes the server to recache definitions from the database, exists on version 19.11. Why this option has been removed on version 20.02 ? Thanks
