h1. How to start and close the server 4 on GNU/Linux system ?

Once installed, the Scol server will start at each system reboot, if the option is checked during the installation. However, you might want to do this manually.

h3. Basically, to close the server, this command should be enough :

<pre>killall -TERM usmunix</pre>

And to restart the server (from the Scol directory) :

<pre>nohup ./startscol.sh &</pre>

h3. You might want also a simple script. You could write something like that (change the content of _PATH_SCOL_) :

<pre>

#!/bin/bash

PATH_SCOL=/path/where/Scol/is/installed/

PATH_CURRENT=$PWD

case "$1" in

'start')

    cd $PATH_SCOL

    nohup ./startscol.sh &

    cd $PATH_CURRENT

    ;;

'stop')

    if ps -d | grep usmunix; then

        killall -TERM usmunix

    fi

    ;;

*)

    echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"

    ;;

esac

exit 0

</pre>

Don't forget a little _chmod_ :

<pre>chmod +x name_of_script</pre>

You can put also the script in your _/etc/init.d_ directory. The rights on the script must be sufficient for start and close Scol.

h3. To call the script :

Here, the script has been named c_scol.sh

<pre>

cd path_to_script

./lc_scol.sh start

</pre>

and

<pre>

cd path_to_script

./lc_scol.sh stop

</pre>
