#### `execdir`
Configure the directory where the executable files reside. All internal processes which are launched will use this directory to look for executable files.
```
execdir=/usr/local/bin/

#### `language`
Set the folder where the errmsg.sys file is located in. MaxScale will look for the errmsg.sys file installed with MaxScale from this folder.

It is also possible to start MaxScale by executing the maxscale command itself. Running the executable /usr/bin/maxscale will result in MaxScale running as a daemon process, unattached to the terminal in which it was started and using configuration files that it finds in the /etc directory.
Options may be passed to the MaxScale binary that alter this default behavior, this options are documented in the table below.
Switch|Long Option|Description
------|-----------|-----------
`-d`|`--nodaemon`|enable running in terminal process (default:disabled)
`-f FILE`|`--config=FILE`|relative or absolute pathname of MaxScale configuration file (default:/etc/maxscale.cnf)
`-l[file shm]`|`--log=[file shm]`|log to file or shared memory (default: file)
`-L PATH`|`--logdir=PATH`|path to log file directory (default: /var/log/maxscale)
`-D PATH`|`--datadir=PATH`|path to data directory, stored embedded mysql tables (default: /var/cache/maxscale)
`-C PATH`|`--configdir=PATH`|path to configuration file directory (default: /etc/)
`-B PATH`|`--libdir=PATH`|path to module directory (default: /usr/lib64/maxscale)
`-A PATH`|`--cachedir=PATH`|path to cache directory (default: /var/cache/maxscale)
`P PATH`|`--piddir=PATH`|PID file directory
`-U USER`|`--user=USER`|run MaxScale as another user. The user ID and group ID of this user are used to run MaxScale.
`-s [yes no]`|`--syslog=[yes no]`|log messages to syslog (default:yes)
`-S [yes no]`|`--maxlog=[yes no]`|log messages to MaxScale log (default: yes)
`-G [0 1]`|`--log_augmentation=[0 1]`|augment messages with the name of the function where the message was logged (default: 0). Primarily for development purposes.
`-v`|`--version`|print version info and exit
`-V`|`--version-full`|print version info and the commit ID the binary was built from
`-?`|`--help`|show this help
Options may be passed to the MaxScale binary that alter this default behavior. For a full list of all parameters, refer to the MaxScale help output by executing `maxscale --help`.
Additional command line arguments can be passed to MaxScale with a configuration file placed at `/etc/sysconfig/maxscale` on RPM installations and `/etc/default/maxscale` file on DEB installations. Set the arguments in a variable called `MAXSCALE_OPTIONS` and remember to surround the arguments with quotes. The file should only contain environment variable declarations.
