Starting and Stopping Instant Messaging Server and Multiplexor

Starting the Instant Messaging server enables Sun Java System Instant Messenger clients to connect to it. Stopping the Instant Messaging server closes all connections and disconnects all clients. The configuration of a given instance specifies whether only the multiplexor, only the server or both these components are enabled. Instant Messaging depends on Directory Server and Web Server.

Note –

For information on starting the Instant Messaging client (and the server on the Windows operating system), refer to theSun Java System Instant Messaging 7 2005Q1 Administration Guide.
