  1. start short test (starts test on *all* disks)
    • * evselftest -c startshort -s /usr/local/exacq/server
    • * -s option is required if evselftest is located somewhere other than server directory
  2. start short test on one disk
    • * evselftest -c startshort -d /dev/sda -s /usr/local/exacq/server
    • * -s option is required if evselftest is located somewhere other than server directory
  3. start long test (starts test on *all* disks)
    • * evselftest -c startlong -s /usr/local/exacq/server
    • * -s option is required if evselftest is located somewhere other than server directory
  4. start long test on one disk
    • * evselftest -c startlong -d /dev/sda -s /usr/local/exacq/server
    • * -s option is required if evselftest is located somewhere other than server directory
  5. stop a test (stops test on *all* disks)
    • * evselftest -c stop -s /usr/local/exacq/server
    • * -s option is required if evselftest is located somewhere other than server directory
  6. stop test on one disk
    • * evselftest -c stop -d /dev/sda -s /usr/local/exacq/server
