Running Death2Spam Services

Starting the D2S Servers

Win32 platforms

Once you have completed configuring the system and applications, run death2spam.bat from the bin directory. The servers can be stopped from the Admin Module, or by keying Ctrl-c into the DOS shell.

Unix platforms

Use the command bin/death2spam console to start D2S in console mode, which is better for smoke-test debugging (program output is directly visible).

Alternatively, use the bin/death2spam start command to run D2S as a daemon process. In this case, program output will be directed into the logs/boot.log file.

Service Configuration

Win32 platforms

After you have successfully configured and test-started the application, you can arrange for Death2Spam to run as a Windows Service. To do this, run the install-d2s-service.bat from the bin directory. The Death2Spam service can then be managed from the Services control panel.

• Tip: you can uninstall the Death2Spam service using the uninstall-d2s-service.bat batch file in the bin directory.
• Tip: you should uninstall the Death2Spam service before changing the config\wrapper.config file.

Unix platforms

• The command bin/death2spam start will run D2S as a daemon process.
• The command bin/death2spam stop stops the daemon.

This approach is consistent with most Unix init/rc syntaxes. Consult your relevant system documentation to start Death2Spam when the machine boots.

System Administration

Once successfully started, the Death2Spam service can be managed from the D2S Admin Module screens, by navigating a web browser to http://localhost:80/admin/ServerAdmin (substitute your machine's hostname or domain, and http listener port, as necessary).

Logon to the ServerAdmin screen as "admin@localhost" with the default password of "admin". NB: change this password before exposing the web server to the Internet, by drilling down from the Accounts listing, or via this page: http://localhost/admin/UserAcctSummary?uid=admin@localhost
