The /etc/init.d/grpwise Script

The /etc/init.d/grpwise script is a BASH Shell script. The grpwise script is what you are most likely to use to load and unload GroupWise Agents on a Linux server. The grpwise script should be considered code, and should generally not be modified. The grpwise script can be used with various commands. For example:

To start all GroupWise Agents:

/etc/init.d/grpwise start

To stop all GroupWise Agents:

/etc/init.d/grpwise stop

To determine the status of all GroupWise Agents:

/etc/init.d/grpwise status

Imagine, though, that on a particular Linux server you have the MTA and the GWIA running. You need to take down the GWIA, but not the MTA. The GWIA is called GWIA and the domain that the GWIA is associated with is called MARKET. Here isthe method you would use to unload the GWIA:

/etc/init.d/grpwise stop GWIA.MARKET

And here is the method you would use to unload the MTA for the MARKET domain:

/etc/init.d/grpwise stop MARKET

Figure 14.4 demonstrates using the grpwise script.

The fact that the grpwise script is in the /etc/init.d directory ensures that when the server boots, the GroupWise Agents will start up on server startup.
