Configuring Your System
The ColdFusion process starts automatically when you start your computer and shuts down automatically when
you shut down your computer, if you specified that it should do so in the installation.
In the ColdFusion Administrator, if you enable or disable security or change any option in the Java and JVM
Settings page, you must stop and restart the ColdFusion process for your changes to take effect. This applies to the
server configuration only; in the multiserver and J2EE configurations, you use application-server-specific
methods to update Java settings.

Managing the ColdFusion process in Mac OS X
The ColdFusion installation creates a single process in UNIX called cfusion. To check whether it is running, use
the following command:
ps -eaf | grep coldfusion8
If it is running, your computer returns something similar to the following line:
nobody 4528 1 10 12:44 pts/0 00:00:07 /opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion8 -jar jrun.jar -
start coldfusion
Note: This discussion applies to the ColdFusion 8 server configuration only. With the multiserver or J2EE configu-
ration, you start and stop ColdFusion 8 by starting the application server.
