You start a HAM by running the
ham
utility at
the command line:
ham
The ham utility has these command-line options:
- -?|h
 
- Display usage message
 
- -d
 
- Disable internal verbosity.
 
- -f
 
- Log verbose output to a file (default is stderr).
 
- -t none|relative|absolute|shortabs
 
- Specify the timestamping method. The default is  relative. 
 
- -v
 
- Set verbosity level — extra -v's increase verbosity.
 
- -Vn
 
- Set verbosity level — use a number to specify the level (e.g., -V3).
 
When a HAM starts, it also starts the Guardian process for
itself.
Note: 
You must start 
ham with its full path or with the
PATH variable set to include the path to
ham as a component.
You must be root in order to start or stop a HAM.
