| 77 Usage | |
| 78 ===== | |
| 79 | |
| 80 To launch the sat backend, enter:: | |
| 81 | |
| 82 $ sat | |
| 83 | |
| 84 …or, if you want to launch it in foreground:: | |
| 85 | |
| 86 $ sat fg | |
| 87 | |
| 88 You can stop it with:: | |
| 89 | |
| 90 $ sat stop | |
| 91 | |
| 92 To know if backend is launched or not:: | |
| 93 | |
| 94 $ sat status | |
| 95 | |
| 96 **NOTE**: since SàT v0.5.0, the backend is automatically launched when a frontend needs it. | |
| 97 | |
| 98 You can check that SàT is installed correctly by trying jp (the backend need to be launched first, check below):: | |
| 99 | |
| 100 $ jp --version | |
