Starting and Stopping the Server
Chapter
7
Configuring Server Preferences
151
You can use the optional parameter
-i
at the end of the line.
The -i
option runs
the server in
inittab
mode, so that if the server process is ever killed or crashed,
inittab
will restart the server for you. This option also prevents the server from
putting itself in a background process.
Stopping the Server Manually (UNIX/Linux)
If you used the
etc/inittab
file to restart the server you must remove the line
starting the server from
/etc/inittab
and type
kill -1 1
before you try to stop
the server. Otherwise, the server restarts automatically after it is stopped.
To stop the server manually, log in as
root
or use the server’s user account (if that
is how you started the server), and then type the following at the command line:
server_root
/type-identifier/stop
Restarting the Server (Windows NT)
You can restart the server by:
•
Using the Services Control Panel to restart any server.
•
Using the Services Control Panel to configure the operating system to restart
the server or the administration server each time the machine is restarted.
For Windows NT, perform the following steps:
1.
In the Control Panel double-click the Services icon.
2.
Scroll through the list of services and select the service for your server.
3.
Check Automatic to have your computer start the server each time the
computer starts or reboots.
4.
Click OK.
NOTE
If the server is already running, the
start
command will fail. You must
stop the server first, then use the
start
command. Also, if the server
startup fails, you should kill the process before trying to restart it.
NOTE
You can also use the Services dialog box to change the account the server
uses. For more information about changing the account the server uses, see
“Changing the User Account (UNIX/Linux),” on page 52.
