Additional command line options:
-c /etc/opt --check-database
This command checks the Orchid Core VMS database for errors. (Before running this command, you should stop the Orchid service. You should also run this command using Administrator privileges.)
For example: sudo /opt/orchid/bin/orchid_server -c /etc/opt --check-database
-v, --version
This command returns the Orchid Core VMS version number.
