Starting the LRS2/VDAS camra server and monitor

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

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

you can use 'chksys' if you have access to the tcs utilities (note that the hetdex account does not yet), to see if the server/monitor is running

you can restart the camra_server by running

sudo service ldas restart

and the monitor by running

sudo service ldas_monitor restart

(use vdas or vdas_monitor for the virsu cameras)

the output from these commands should look like

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