To start the directory server, run the start-ds command on UNIX or Linux systems or the start-ds.bat command on Windows systems. By default, the start-ds command starts the directory server as a background process when no options are specified. You can use the start-ds command with the --nodetach option to run the server as a foreground process. For more information, see start-ds in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.0 Command-Line Usage Guide.
The start-ds command automatically attempts to find the correct Java environment to use when starting the server. You can specify the path to the Java installation, and provide additional options directly to the JVM when the directory server is starting. For more information, see Configuring the Default JVM and Java Arguments.
(UNIX, Linux) $ cd install-dir/bin (Windows) C:\> cd install-dir\bat
(UNIX, Linux) $ start-ds (Windows) C:\> start-ds
(UNIX, Linux) $ cd install-dir/bin (Windows) C:\> cd install-dir\bat
(UNIX, Linux) $ start-ds --nodetach (Windows) C:\> start-ds --nodetach
You can stop the directory server by pressing Control-C in the terminal window in which the server is running or by running the stop-ds utility from another window.
(UNIX, Linux) $ cd install-dir/bin (Windows) C:\> cd install-dir\bat
(UNIX, Linux) $ control-panel (Windows) C:\> control-panel
(UNIX, Linux) $ cd install-dir/bin (Windows) C:\> cd install-dir\bat
(UNIX, Linux) $ stop-ds --restart (Windows) C:\> stop-ds --restart
(UNIX, Linux) $ cd install-dir/bin (Windows) C:\> cd install-dir\bat
(UNIX, Linux) $ control-panel (Windows) C:\> control-panel
The start-ds command provides a “quiet” option ( -Q or --quiet) that suppresses output during the startup process unless a significant error occurs. You can use this option in a startup script.
