Details on the startSS.pl and stopSS.pl scripts for Spectrum

Environment

Release: Any
Component: SPCCSS - SpectroSERVER Core

Resolution

The Spectrum startSS.pl and stopSS.pl scripts are located in the $SPECROOT/bin directory.

They are used on systems to start/stop the SpectroSERVER and Archive Manager processes from the command line instead of using the Spectrum Control Panel (SCP).

To run the startSS.pl and stopSS.pl scripts:

1. Log into the SpectroSERVER system as the user that owns the Spectrum installation

2. If on Windows, start a bash shell by running "bash -login"

3. cd to the $SECROOT/bin directory and enter the following command:

To start the SpectroSERVER and Archive Manager:

./startSS.pl

To stop the SpectroSERVER and Archive Manager:

./stopSS.pl

 

NOTE: The startSS.pl and stopSS.pl scripts should not be run by any other user other than the user that owns the Spectrum installation.

Additional Information

If the SpectroSERVER is running and the Archive Manager is not, you can still utilize the StartSS.pl script to start the ArchMgr. The script will see that the SpectroSERVER is running and that the Archive Manager is not.  It will then start the Archive Manager.
