mxsetsecret – set the network secret password
Synopsis
/opt/polyserve/bin/mxsetsecret -f [--filename] <filename> <secret>
Description
This command is typically run by mxconfig and should be run manually only
at the request of PolyServe personnel.
pmxs – start or stop Matrix Server or view status
Synopsis
/etc/init.d/pmxs start
/etc/init.d/pmxs stop
/etc/init.d/pmxs restart
/etc/init.d/pmxs status
Description
Matrix Server runs on each server in the matrix. When a server is booted to
run-levels 3 or 5, Matrix Server is started automatically by the script
/etc/init.d/pmxs. If you need to start, stop, or restart Matrix Server on a
particular server, invoke the pmxs script with the appropriate argument.
The pmxs script calls the mxinit utility. For a start operation, mxinit starts the
Matrix Server processes in the correct order and loads the kernel modules.
For a stop operation, it stops the Matrix Server processes, unloads the kernel
modules, and performs cleanup tasks.
The status option displays the same information as the mxinit --status
command. You do not need to be user root to run the command.
