Stopping and Starting the LRS2/VDAS camra server, monitor, and pivot processes

Stopping the servers

You can stop the camra_server by running

sudo service ldas stop

the monitor by running

sudo service ldas_monitor stop

and pivot by running

sudo service ldas_pivot stop

(use vdas, vdas_monitor, or vdas_pivot for the virus cameras)

Starting the servers

To restart the lrs2 (or vdas) server, monitor, or pivot:

log on to lrs2 as yourself; we all have ldap account on these machines

you can use 'chksys' to see if the server/monitor/pivot are running

you can restart the camra_server by running

sudo service ldas restart

the monitor by running

sudo service ldas_monitor restart

and pivot by running

sudo service ldas_pivot restart

(use vdas, vdas_monitor, or vdas_pivot for the virus cameras)

the output from these commands should look like

jrf@lrs2 ~
$ sudo service ldas restart
[sudo] password for jrf:

Problem Solving

The logs for the these programs can be found in the directory /var/log on either the lrs2 or vdas computer. The file name formats are ldas.log, ldas_monitor.log, or ldas_pivot.log and vdas.log, vdas_monitor.log, or vdas_oivot.log.
