Starting and stopping the Messaging Services on both UNIX and Windows systems are
described in this chapter.
4.1
Introduction
The Isode M-Switch Server comprises a number of “Services” depending on the Features
required. These Services are usually started and stopped by an Administrator but some
Operators may also be granted permission to do this.
4.1.1
Starting and Stopping Services on Windows
Starting and Stopping Services on Windows is done using the “Isode Service Configuration”
GUI Tool, this must be run as an Administrator and started from the Start Menu
→
Programs
→
Isode M.m
→
Isode Service Configuration, where “M” is the Major Release Number
and “m” is the Minor Release Number e.g. Isode 16.7.
The Administrator will have configured all the services to start automatically when the
system starts up.
So a normal running system would present all the configured services and the dependencies.
The following diagram shows the appearance of M-Switch Services when running as an
Internet MTA:
Figure 4.1. MTA Services and their Dependencies
Services will usually have been set up so other services depend on it. These form a "tree"
of dependencies. So a normal running system would present all the configured services
and the dependencies. The above diagram
Figure 4.1, “MTA Services and their
Dependencies”
shows the appearance of M-Switch Services including these dependences,
e.g. the isode.pp.smtp depends on the isode.pp.qmgr
Running Services are indicated by a “Green” circle, Stopped Services by an “Orange”
circle and disabled services by a “Blue” circle. You can “Start All” the services from the
Operations menu as shown below.
