Vicky’s server guides

During the time Ensim evolved it used to call its servrice either ‘webppliance’ or ‘epld’ (newer). So the command you need to run as root via shell to restart Ensim is:

If you use version older than 10.x.x

 # service webppliance restart  

If you use version EnsimX for Linux 10.x and higher

# service epld restart

I hope this helps

This tutorial section deals with mysqldump which is a tool to import and export MySQL databases.

It can be used to back up a database or to move database information from one server to another.

I always hated to go to Ensim to find out the current version of it.  Finally I  somewhere found a command that writes this info in shell.

He it is: 

cat /usr/lib/opcenter/VERSION

Many times it happened to me – I forgot Ensim’s admin password for web interface or DC has just set some password and they “forgot” to inform me. I usually struggled via ssh how to change it. Not anymore..

 When you need to reset Ensim password do it by this:

/usr/sbin/passwd_appl_admin <username>

It will prompt for the password only once.

I will show you here how to set correct date and time on your server. All steps need to be done as root (which I assume you know).

To set correct time issue this command

/usr/bin/rdate -s time.nist.gov

It will connect to time server and synchs your time and date. After that command execute

/sbin/hwclock --systohc

which sets ‘permanent’ clock from the system time so that the time will be correct next time you reboot.

You can do this via a NTP daemon but it is too complicated for such an easy task as setting the date and time.
