PrizmDoc Viewer v13.11 Release - Updated
Linux
Administrator Guide > Start & Stop PrizmDoc Server > Linux

Introduction

The included script ./scripts/pccis.sh can be used to start and stop the Watchdog service, which will bring up the PrizmDoc Server as defined in the configuration files. The following examples assume the default install location. If you did not install it to the default location, replace /usr/share/prizm with the location to which you installed it.

Start

Example

/usr/share/prizm/scripts/pccis.sh start

Stop

Example

/usr/share/prizm/scripts/pccis.sh stop

Including PCCIS to the Boot Sequence

You can also configure PCCIS to be started / stopped together with the system in 2 steps:

  1. Create a symbolic link to the ./scripts/pccis.sh in /etc/init.d/ directory:

    Example

    ln -s /usr/share/prizm/scripts/pccis.sh /etc/init.d/pccis
    
    
  2. Register PCCIS as an init script, so that it is managed by the system. This step is platform-dependent.

    RedHat / CentOS

    Example

    chkconfig --add pccis
    
    

    Ubuntu

    Example

    update-rc.d pccis defaults
    
    

Once done, the system should stop PCCIS, when going to reboot (runlevel 6) or shutdown (runlevel 0). It will also not be started, when booting in single-user mode (runlevel 1 - usually used for system recovery). PCCIS will be started in all other cases (runlevels 2 - 5).

TIP: Normally, there shouldn’t ever be a need to change these defaults, but in case there is, you can use the mentioned commands to adjust the order of executing relative to other init scripts as well as runlevel manually:

Example

update-rc.d pccis start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...]
chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset|resetpriorities>

TIP: After the first step, you can use the service command to manage PCCIS instead of invoking the script directly. That way even if you don’t need PCCIS to be automatically started / stopped, you may want to complete the first step to be able to more easily manage it. The syntax is a follows:

Example

service pccis start|stop|restart|status

Excluding PCCIS from the Boot Sequence

If you want to prevent PCCIS from starting / stopping together with the system, you need to revert Step 2 from the section above. It is done as follows:

RedHat / CentOS

Example

chkconfig --del pccis

Ubuntu

Example

update-rc.d -f pccis remove
