Starting iServer Restarting iServer Stopping iServer iServer is normally started from the command line using one of the following commands. #### Syntax iws { path | archive } javavm { -Denv=envfile } { javavm_parameters } stec.iws.iws { path | archive } #### Parameters
archive | the JAR/ZIP archive containing the Web-site.
envfile | is an optional file name, including path, to a file that contains carriage-return delimited key=value pairs for any environmental variables that maybe needed by CGI and SSI.
javavm | is the Java VM, normally java.
javavm_parameters | are any optional parameters used by the Java VM.
path | optional directory where iServer was installed or deployed, normally c:\iws for WIN32 and /iws for Linux/Unix. iServer searches for its configuration files relative to this path. If not specified the current directory is used.
#### Notes iServer must be stopped using the iServer Administrator and not by killing or breaking out of the program. Doing so will prevent normal process cleanup from occuring and may result in data corruption and loss. iws is a C wrapper that runs iServer. It uses JAVA_EXE, an environmental variable, to determine which Java VM to use. Internally it copies all environmental variables to a temporary file then it invokes iServer and on exit, depending on the return code, it stops or restarts iServer and removes the temporary file it created when iServer was started. When running iServer without using the iws C wrapper Restart from the iServer Administrator will stop iServer. #### Example iws /home/iws top of page iServer is can be restarted from the command line using one the following commands. #### Syntax restart_iws hostname:port id password javavm { javavm_parameters } iwsCommand restart hostname:port id password #### Parameters
hostname | the name of the server where iServer is currently running, normally localhost
id | the user id of the administrator, normally admin.
javavm | is the Java VM, normally java.
javavm_parameters | are any optional parameters used by the Java VM.
password | the password used by the administrator, normally admin.
port | the port number that iServer is listening on, normally 8080.
#### Notes iServer can also be restarted using the iServer Administrator. #### Example restart_iws localhost:8080 admin admin top of page iServer is can be stopped from the command line using one the following commands. #### Syntax stop_iws hostname:port id password javavm { javavm_parameters } iwsCommand stop hostname:port id password #### Parameters
hostname | the name of the server where iServer is currently running, normally localhost
id | the user id of the administrator, normally admin.
javavm | is the Java VM, normally java.
javavm_parameters | are any optional parameters used by the Java VM.
password | the password used by the administrator, normally admin.
port | the port number that iServer is listening on, normally 8080.
