thanks!

Starting Services. Linux:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/<SERVICE> start

FreeBSD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/<SERVICE> start

Stopping Services. Linux:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/<SERVICE> stop

FreeBSD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/<SERVICE> stop

Restarting Services. Linux:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/<SERVICE> restart

FreeBSD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/<SERVICE> restart

An alternative method - and often more appropriate - is to stop and then start the service: Linux:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/<SERVICE> stop
sleep 10
/etc/rc.d/init.d/<SERVICE> start

FreeBSD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/<SERVICE> stop
sleep 10
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/<SERVICE> start

Note: While restarting H-Sphere, run killall -9 java after you stop and before you start CP.

Warning: Don't use kill -9 to stop named, as it may cause information loss!

Following are the commands to put in place of <SERVICE>:

Service Linux FreeBSD
H-Sphere (tomcat) httpdcp apachecp.sh
H-Sphere Database (PostgreSQL) postgresql 010.pgsql.sh
