Running the xgtd server

The server component of the xGT application is called xgtd. It is a linux daemon and is launched automatically at linux boot. You can examine and control the daemon using standard linux utilities:

sudo systemctl status xgtd
sudo systemctl stop xgtd
sudo systemctl start xgtd
sudo systemctl restart xgtd

Data considerations

The default location for xgtd to read and write data is the ec2-user home directory.

You can copy data to the this home directory or organize data into subdirectories. The load() method in the xgt python module will accepts a path name as one of the parameters.
When the path is a relative path, the server will look for the file name (or names, if wildcards are provided) in the default location.

The save() command uses the same default location.
