Server Administration

This chapter describes how to manage your calendar server. All administrative tasks and procedures are executed using command-line utilities, the Admin GUI, the Web GUI, or operating system tools.

Note that all server administration performed through the command-line utilities provided should be carried out on UNIX platforms as the unison user created by the server installation program. The calendar server daemons should all run under this user name as well. It is not recommended to run the calendar server as the root user.

This chapter documents the following administrative procedures:

Starting and stopping the calendar server

If you are using an external LDAP directory server (the unison.ini parameter [DAS] enable=TRUE), your directory server must be running before you can start the calendar server. If you have enabled e-mail notification (the unison.ini parameter [LIMITS] mail=TRUE), a mail server should be running.

Start the calendar server by using the unistart utility. Stop it by using the unistop utility. For full information on use and syntax, see the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix C, "Utilities."

Example

To start the calendar server (bringing up four daemons if using an internal directory and five daemons if using an external LDAP directory), execute the following command:

% unistart 
Example

For an orderly shutdown of the calendar server, execute the following command:

% unistop -y 


Note::

The number of client connections, the number of processes running, and the volume of network traffic all affect the amount of time that the server takes to stop.


Checking server status

To view the current status of the calendar daemons/services and servers, run the unistatus utility. For full information on use and syntax, see the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix C, "Utilities."

Example

To verify the status of the calendar server's daemons/services, run the following command:

% unistatus -d
       UID    PID   PPID     STIME    TIME  COMMAND   CLASS
    unison  26512      1  17:18:14    0:00  unilckd   daemon 
    unison  26517      1  17:18:16    0:00  uniengd   daemon 
    unison  26591      1  17:18:22    0:00  unidasd   daemon 
    unison  26669      1  17:18:24    0:00  unisncd   daemon 
    unison  26678      1  17:18:26    0:00  unicwsd   daemon 

unistatus: the calendar server is up 

Viewing current user activity

To view current logged-on users, run the uniwho utility. For full information on use and syntax, see the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix C, "Utilities."

Example

To view a list of current client connections, execute:

% uniwho
 PID           ADDRESS  NODEID      XITEMID  USER
 7721     193.77.49.162   20004      20004,2  CWSOP,na 
 14668     193.77.49.223   20004    20004,295  Alexander,James 
 10237      193.77.49.44   20004    20004,142  Addison,Thomas 

Changing the SYSOP (node) password

Cmd line

To change the password of the SYSOP (the administrator of a node) or any other user, run the unipasswd utility from the command line. For full information on use and syntax, see the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix C, "Utilities."

Example

To change the password for node 34, execute:

% unipasswd -n 34 
Enter old password:  
Enter new password:  
Re-enter new password:  
unipasswd: Password changed successfully


Note::

A node created during the installation of the internal-directory version of the calendar server will not have a SYSOP password. The password must be set once the node is created. However, a SYSOP password must be set for a node created as part of the calendar server installation when using a directory server.


Other administrative tasks

Use command-line utilities for a variety of other less frequent tasks. For full information on use and syntax, see the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix C, "Utilities."

Some of the utilities that you may want to be familiar with once the calendar server is up and running are:

See the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix C, "Utilities," for a description of the function and syntax of all utilities included with the calendar server.
