4 Starting/Stopping

Starting and stopping SkunkWeb is a relatively simple matter using the swmgr script in /usr/local/skunk/bin.

The swmgr takes one argument that has one of three different values:

start
Start the SkunkWeb server if it is not already running. If it is already running, you will usually see an error message that says something like ``Address already in use''.

restart
Restart a running SkunkWeb server. If the SkunkWeb server is not already running, you will see the message ``SkunkWeb pidfile missing. Aborting...''

stop
Stops the running SkunkWeb server. If the SkunkWeb server is not already running, you will see the message ``SkunkWeb pidfile missing. Aborting...''
