Controlling the server

This section describes the commands for controlling the server. See the for an overview of the relevant commands.

nevisauth start

Before starting the nevisAuth server, the start command nevisauth start checks whether the server is not already running. If the server is already running, the command only provides status information. If the server is not running it is started. The startup procedure may look as follows:

# nevisauth start
nevisauth: default>> Starting server 'isi3server'...
server is up and running
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Status : UP
Component : nevisauth / 4.12.13.0
Instance : default
Process : isi3server
Ownership : bin / bin
Network port(s) : 8990
Filedescriptors : 4096
Process ID : 29728
JRE/JDK : /opt/adnjdk16
Logfile(s) : /var/opt/nevisauth/default/log/esauth4sv.log
 /var/opt/nevisauth/default/log/jmxagent.log
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 nevisauth stop

To shut down a running server, the stop command nevisauth stop terminates all running processes. The display may therefore look as follows:

# nevisauth stop
nevisauth: default>> Shutting down server on pid 25063...
nevisauth: default>> Shutting down server on pid 25063...
nevisauth: default>> Shutting down processes 25063 25064...
nevisauth: default>> Server processes 'isi3server' terminated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Status : DOWN
Component : nevisauth / 4.12.12.0
Instance : default
Process : isi3server
Ownership : bin / bin
Network port(s) : 8990
Filedescriptors : 4096
JRE/JDK : /opt/adnjdk16
Logfile(s) : /var/opt/nevisauth/default/log/esauth4sv.log
 /var/opt/nevisauth/default/log/jmxagent.log
------------------------------------------------------------------------

nevisauth restart

This command performs a stop command nevisauth stop, followed by a start command nevisauth start. It is very convenient after applying configuration changes.
