 For special network interfaces, you may need to modify server/config/irodsHost; see comments within it.  To use the iRODS command-line tools, update your PATH:     For csh users:         set path=(/home/schroede/dice/iRODS/clients/icommands/bin $path)     For sh or bash users:         PATH=/home/schroede/dice/iRODS/clients/icommands/bin:$PATH  To start and stop the servers, use 'irodsctl':     irodsctl start     irodsctl stop     irodsctl restart Add '--help' for a list of commands.  Please see the iRODS documentation for additional notes on how to manage the servers and adjust the configuration.
