• There are two different ways of running an EASA Server,
  • as a system 'service'
  • as a user 'application'

Each has a different Start and Stop method.

• Windows,
  • Start an EASA Server → as a service, as an application
  • Stop an EASA Server → as a service, as an application
• Linux,
  • Start an EASA Server → as a service, as an application
  • Stop an EASA Server → as a service, as an application

By default an EASA Server will be installed as a service and will start automatically when Windows starts up.

The EASA Server can be started or stopped using the 'Windows Services' tool.

• Type 'services' into the search box next to the start menu icon to bring up the Services window.
  • Find the EASA TomcatX service (where X denotes Tomcat version).
  • The 'Description' should start with EASA Server ….
  • Confirm its 'Status' column is 'Started'.
  • If the 'Status' column is blank,
    • Start the service,
      • Select the EASA Server row
      • Click on the Start Service button in the toolbar above (or right-click→start).

Examine the Start→All Programs→EASA menu. At installation time two shortcuts were added,

• Start EASA Server
• Stop EASA Server

• If an EASA Server is running as an application,
  • A Command Prompt window entitled ‘EASA Server’ should be visible.
• If no EASA Server is running,
  • Click on the Start EASA Server shortcut to start one.

• Type 'services' into the search box next to the start menu icon to bring up the Services window.
  • Select the EASA Server service
  • Click on the Stop button (or right-click→stop).

• Click on the shortcut,
  • Start Menu→Stop EASA Server

• If the EASA Server has been setup to run as a service,
  • It should start automatically.

• If the EASA Server has been stopped,
  • Start it from a shell window by typing,
    • /sbin/service easa start

• Log in to the Linux computer as root.
  • Change to the directory: <EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin
    • Run,
      • ./easa.sh start

• Stop EASA Server from a shell window by typing,
  • /sbin/service easa stop

• Change to the directory: <EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin
