nsfast(1M)

nsfast -- start, stop, enable, disable, query, and restart Netscape FastTrack server(s)

Synopsis

Description

This script controls any Netscape FastTrack server(s) installed on a system (apart from the scohelphttp server, which is controlled by the scohelphttp(X1M) commands). The Netscape FastTrack server(s) can be started, stopped, enabled, disabled, and restarted. nsfast query returns the current state of the specified server (enabled, disabled, started and/or stopped).

For each server argument, nsfast performs the specified action on the server or servers. If no server argument is provided, the action will be performed on all Netscape FastTrack servers on the system.

Options

The /etc/nsfast script has six options:

start: starts the specified server
stop: stops the specified server (however, if the server is enabled, it will automatically start upon reboot of the system)
enable: ensures that the specified server starts when the system reboots
disable: prevents the specified server from starting when the system reboots
query: returns the current state of the specified server (enabled, disabled, started, and/or stopped)
restart: restarts the specified server. Note that this option will not start a server if it does not find one running; it will only restart a currently running server.

Files

/etc/rc2.d/S91nsfast-<ServerName>: script that starts the server automatically on boot

Warnings

If you do not supply a server argument, the command will be performed on every Netscape FastTrack server installed on the system, except for the scohelphttp server.
