Obtaining a script files for shortcuts to the above commands

The above commands are tedious to type all the time. It is possible to create small executable script files that will simplify managing the server

I have written a script that can do all of the above, and more. It has five options: start, stop, hup, pid, info.

start

start the server

stop

stop the server

hup

make the server reread its configuration files

pid

display the process ID of the main server

info

display the pid and start time of all the servers in your pool.

To get a copy of this

• Change to your server directory
  cd ~/cgs4854/server
• Copy the script to your directory
  cp ~downeyt/cs/public/scripts/server .
• Make sure it is executable
  chmod 700 server

To execute this command, just change to your server directory and type ./ followed by the script name and the option. For example

• ./server  start
• ./server  stop
• ./server  hup
• ./server  pid
• ./server  info
