startServer command
The startServer command reads the configuration file for the specified
application server and starts the server. Depending on the options you specify,
you can launch a new Java virtual machine (JVM) API to run the server process,
or write the launch command data to a file. You can run this command from
the install_root/bin directory of a WebSphere Application Server
installation, or a Network Deployment installation.
Syntax
The command syntax is as follows:
startServer <server> [options]
where
server is
the name of the application server you want to start. This argument is required.
Parameters
The following options are available for
the startServer command:
- -nowait
- Tells the startServer command not to wait for successful initialization
of the launched server process.
- -quiet
- Suppresses the progress information that the startServer command
prints in normal mode.
- -logfile <fileName>
- Specifies the location of the log file to which information is written.
- -replacelog
- Replaces the log file instead of appending to the current log.
- -trace
- Generates trace information to the log file for debugging purposes.
- -timeout <seconds>
- Specifies the waiting time before server initialization times out and
returns an error.
- -statusport <portNumber>
- Specifies that an administrator can set the port number for server status
callback.
- -script [<script fileName>] -background
- Generates a launch script with the startServer command instead
of launching the server process directly. The launch script name is an optional
argument. If you do not supply the launch script name, the default script
file name is start_<server> based on the <server> name
passed as the first argument to the startServer command. The -background parameter
is an optional parameter that specifies that the generated script will run
in the background when you execute it.
Note: The startserver.sh script launches
a new process from the app_server_root directory to initialize the
application server. The start_server1.sh script launches the application server
from the directory in which the script is located. Because of this, the directory
for the process launched using the startserver.sh script is the app_server_root directory
and the directory for the process launched using the start_server1.sh script
is the app_server_root/bin directory. Any system properties that are
dependant on the process directory such as user.dir, might be different for
processes launched using the startserver.sh and start_server1.sh scripts.
- -J <java_option>
- Specifies options to pass through to the Java interpreter.
- -help
- Prints a usage statement.
- -?
- Prints a usage statement.
Usage scenario
The following examples demonstrate
correct syntax:
startServer server1
startServer server1 -script (produces the start_server1.sh or .bat files)
startServer server1 -trace (produces the startserver.log file)
