docview -- DocView server administrative utility

Syntax

/etc/docview [start | stop | restart | status | graceful | configtest | help]

Description

The docview command is the administrative utility for the DocView documentation server. The DocView server is a separate instance of an Apache server running from a specified port number (8457). docview is an init script that controls the httpd daemon associated with that Apache server instance. It can be run from the command line, and it is set to run by default from the DocView startup script, /etc/rc2.d/S95docview.


NOTE: Entering docview on the command line does not start the DocView help system; see ``Getting help'' in the SCO OpenServer Handbook.

The docview command takes the following options:


start
Starts the DocView server.

stop
Stops the DocView server.

restart
Stops and starts the DocView server by sending a SIGHUP signal or starts it if it is not running.

status
Dumps a short status screen; requires that lynx and mod_status be enabled.

graceful
Restarts the DocView server by sending a SIGUSR1 signal or starts the server if it is not running.

configtest
Performs a configuration syntax test.

help
Displays the help screen.
