EzSign Control

The Control utility connects to the running server on the specified control port and enables the live monitoring of the server status (running or stopped), the pausing and resuming of the server and the ability to alter the logging level whilst the server is running

Run the ezsign-server-ctrl script to start the EzSign Control utility

The script requires two parameters: the IP Address and Control Port of the server e.g:

ezsign-server-ctrl 127.0.0.1 5657

These are the values set by the following properties in the server properties file:

server.ctrl.bindIpAddress
server.ctrl.port

If an Authentication Code is being used on the server’s control interface, this should also be provided at startup via the authCode parameter e.g.

ezsign-server-ctrl 127.0.0.1 5657 authCode=1f84-66c2-29f5-a60b

In this case the Authentication Code is 1f84-66c2-29f5-a60b

Starting the utility in this way will display the menu, enabling the user to select the option required

This script may also be called with an action supplied to carry out the operation with no further interaction required e.g.

To obtain the running status of the server:

ezsign-server-ctrl 127.0.0.1 5657 status

To pause the server:

ezsign-server-ctrl 127.0.0.1 5657 pause

To resume the server

ezsign-server-ctrl 127.0.0.1 5657 resume

To shut down the server process

ezsign-server-ctrl 127.0.0.1 5657 stopdaemon

To change the log level

ezsign-server-ctrl 127.0.0.1 5657 loglevel=3
