[shanit]

can you restart services that are listed under restart services in whm thru ssh

or only thru whm

I am wanting to do restarts thru ssh it seems to be faster when i do anything thru ssh than in whm

thanks again

Yes, you can. cPanel provide various scripts for restarting different services safely /scripts/restartsrv_*

In general, another easy way is to restard from the init.d directory.

For example, to reboot Apache (the web server, which is known as httpd), just su - to root and type:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Another example is Exim....

/etc/init.d/exim restart


There are numerous other ways to start, stop, and restart the servers, but the ones Chirpy and I offered are probably the easiest to begin with.

You can simply restart services by

service servicename stop/start

e.g

service httpd stop/start (WebServer Apache)
service mysql stop/start (MySQL Server)
service exim stop/start (Mailserver Exim)
service cpanel stop/start (CPanel)
service named stop/start (BIND)

.... and so on

I was going to mention that method, as well, but I figured for someone new to the game it may be easier for them to see a list of services that could be controlled by listing the directory. Still, by you leaving a list like that here, Web, that's a better idea than mine.

I think its better for the newbie to know how he can stop/start services.As there are three methods mentioned in this thread so its upto him which one he chooses but he must know by now that there are other methods too.
