How to run a Circle daemon

Circle is capable of running as a daemon, with no user interface. This allows you to publish files from a server, which you can then access from any computer connected to the internet.

First, specify a public directory by typing something like:

circled publish /home/jsmith/my_public_circle

Next, start the daemon:

circled start

You can check the status of the daemon (number of files published, network usage, number of known peers) by typing the following:

circled status

You can stop a running daemon by typing:

circled stop

You can also make the Circle daemon load automatically at boot time: (you have to be root to do this)

circled autostart

If you no longer want the daemon to load automatically at boot, simply type:

circled noautostart
