## Starting EMSRV for UNIX operating systems

On UNIX platforms, the EMSRV process will have the file access permissions of the UNIX 4account that starts EMSRV. The UNIX account name that is used to start EMSRV is referred to as the EMSRV account name, and the password for that account is referred to as the EMSRV account password.

Perform the following steps to start EMSRV for UNIX:

1. Change directory to the directory containing the EMSRV executable (as specified previously in Setting up EMSRV for UNIX operating systems).
2. Verify that:
   - The EMSRV user account has appropriate file access rights to the library files.
   - The library files reside on a local file system.
3. At the command line, enter emsrv with the desired parameters (see EMSRV Startup options).

For example, at a command line, enter either: `emsrv.shadow -lc -lflogfile` or `emsrv -lc -lflogfile`.

The command logs messages to the system console and the log file specified in the command line.

Note:
  The UNIX account password is needed when shutting down EMSRV remotely using EMADMIN.
