Starting and Stopping Services Automatically

All server components are installed as services and can be configured to start during installation.

If you are running on Linux platforms, follow these steps to set the session server to start automatically when your system first boots up.

Create a file called sessionserver containing the following and using your installation directory:

#!/bin/sh
#
#This script manages the service needed to run the session server
#chkconfig:235 19 08
#description: Manage the Host Access for the Cloud session server 

###BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          sessionserver
# Required-Start:    $all
# Required-Stop:     $all
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Description:       Start the Host Access for the Cloud Session Server
### END INIT INFO

INSTALL_DIR=<enter installation directory>
BIN_DIR=$INSTALL_DIR/sessionserver/bin
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting Host Access for the Cloud Session Server"
$BIN_DIR/server start

RETVAL=0
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping Host Access for the Cloud Session Server"
$BIN_DIR/server stop

RETVAL=0
;;
status) echo "Current Host Access for the Cloud Session Server status"
$BIN_DIR/server status

RETVAL=0
;;
restart) echo "Restart Host Access for the Cloud Session Server"
$BIN_DIR/server restart

RETVAL=0
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 (start|stop|status|restart)"

RETVAL=1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL

Then complete the relevant steps.

On Linux:

  1. Copy the file to the /etc/init.d directory.

  2. Set the file permission. Run chmod using the value 755. For example, chmod 755 sessionserver

  3. Run chkconfig to add the initialization script. For example, /sbin/chkconfig --add sessionserver
