Description
The -restarth argument applies configuration changes only to the Distributor
process, the httpd process, and the Servlet Server Class (SSC). Do not specify
changes to the PATHMON configuration. The -restarth argument does not apply
these kinds of changes:
•
The arguments to other server classes such as generic-cgi.pway
•
The addition of new server classes or the deletion of existing ones
•
The httpd process is configured to run in Auto-Accept mode.
The -rollover argument causes the httpd process to save the files that it is logging
to and to log to new, empty files. Using -rollover eliminates the need to manually
rename log files when you want to archive them and start new ones. The -rollover
argument saves the current log files using the names specified in the AccessLog,
ErrorLog, and ExtendedLog directives, but appends a timestamp to the name.
•
When you use -rollover as the only argument to the httpd command, the
current log files are saved and the httpd process begins logging to new files. If the
log file names have been changed in the configuration file, the iTP Secure
WebServer ignores the change and opens new files using the old names.
•
When you use -rollover with -start, the log files that were in use when the
iTP Secure WebServer was stopped are saved on startup, and the httpd process
begins logging to new files. If the log file names have been changed in the
configuration file, the server opens new files using the new names.
•
When you use -rollover with -restart, the current log files are saved when
the iTP Secure WebServer is stopped, and the httpd process begins logging to
new files when it is started again. If the log file names have been changed in the
configuration file, the server opens new files using the new names.
•
When you use -rollover with -restarth, the current log files are saved, and
the httpd process begins logging to new files. If the log file names have been
changed in the configuration file, the server opens new files using the new names.
•
When you use -rollover with -stop, the current log files are saved before the
httpd process is stopped. When the iTP Secure WebServer is started again, it
begins logging to new files.
Note. If no disk space is available to save the current log files, a message (#580) appears on
the command line. Logging stops, and the iTP Secure WebServer reports to the Event
Management Service (EMS) that it cannot write to the log files. To recover from this condition,
either provide more disk space for the logs or, if the log files are very large, archive or delete
them and restart the httpd process.
