Argument	Purpose
-config `properties_file`	Specifies the name of the wire listener configuration file to run. This argument is required to start or stop the wire listener.
-start	Starts the wire listener. You must also specify the configuration file.
-stop	Stops the wire listener. You must also specify the configuration file. The stop command is similar to the MongoDB shutdown command.
-logfile `log_file`	Specifies the name of the log file that is used. If this option is not specified, the log messages are sent to std.out. Important: If you have customized the Logback configuration or specified another logging framework, the settings for -loglevel and -logfile are ignored.
-loglevel	Specifies the logging level. error Errors are sent to the log file. This is the default value. warn Errors and warnings are sent to the log file. info Informational messages, warnings, and errors are sent to the log file. debug Debug, informational messages, warnings, and errors are sent to the log file. trace Trace, debug, informational messages, warnings, and errors are sent to the log file. Important: If you have customized the Logback configuration or specified another logging framework, the settings for -loglevel and -logfile are ignored.
-port `port_number`	Specifies the port number. If a port is specified on the command line, it overrides the port properties set in the wire listener configuration file. The default port is 27017.
-wait `wait_time`	Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for any active sessions to complete before the wire listener is stopped. The default is 10 seconds. To force an immediate shutdown, set the `wait_time` to 0 seconds.
-version	Prints the wire listener version.
-buildInformation	Prints the wire listener build information.

Examples

In this example, the wire listener is started and the log is specified as $INFORMIXDIR/jsonListener.log:

java -jar $INFORMIXDIR/bin/jsonListener.jar
-config $INFORMIXDIR/etc/jsonListener.properties
-logfile $INFORMIXDIR/jsonListener.log -start

In this example, the wire listener is started with the log level set to debug:

java -jar $INFORMIXDIR/bin/jsonListener.jar
-config $INFORMIXDIR/etc/jsonListener.properties
-loglevel debug -start

In this example, port 6388 is specified:

java -jar $INFORMIXDIR/bin/jsonListener.jar
-config $INFORMIXDIR/etc/jsonListener.properties
-port 6388 -start

In this example, the wire listener is paused 10 seconds before the wire listener is stopped:

java -jar $INFORMIXDIR/bin/jsonListener.jar
-config $INFORMIXDIR/etc/jsonListener.properties
-wait 10 -stop

In this example, the wire listener version is printed:

java -jar $INFORMIXDIR/bin/jsonListener.jar -version

In this example, the wire listener build information is printed:

java -jar $INFORMIXDIR/bin/jsonListener.jar -buildInformation
