Starting and Stopping Messaging Server

The Messaging Server start-msg utility starts all of the messaging server processes, or optionally, one specified service. The services started can be controlled by enabling or disabling the configuration parameters. Messaging Server depends on Directory Server and Administration Server.

To Start Messaging Server

Steps

1. Change to the MessagingServer-base/sbin directory.

2. Enter the following command to start the Messaging Server:

   ./start-msg

3. Verify that the Messaging Server processes are running.

   Notice that the list of processes varies according to the Messaging Server features you have configured to use.

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep SUNWmsgsr

   /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/enpd /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/stored -d /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/popd -d 5 /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/imapd -d 5 -D 6 /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/mshttpd -d 5 -D 6 /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/dispatcher /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/job_controller /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/tcp_lmtp_server /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/tcp_smtp_server /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/tcp_smtp_server /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/imsched /opt/SUNWmsgsr/lib/watcher

To Stop Messaging Server

Steps

1. Change to the MessagingServer-base/sbin directory.

2. Enter the following command to stop the Messaging Server:

   ./stop-msg

3. Verify that the Messaging Server processes are not running. For example.

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep SUNWmsgsr

   Some Messaging Server processes might take several minutes to stop because they wait for their current transactions to complete.

To Access Messenger Express

Messenger Express is a web-based electronic mail program that enables end users to access their mailboxes using a browser.

Steps

1. If you are already provisioned in the LDAP directory to which Messaging Server points, you can log in using your browser. Use the http:// hostname.domainname[: port] format to access Messenger Express. For example:

   http://mycomputer.example.com:80

2. If the LDAP directory is not yet provisioned, you can login as admin, specifying the password you entered during configuration.
