Managing the process

The ColdFusion MX process starts automatically when you start your computer and shuts down automatically when you shut down your computer.

In the ColdFusion MX Administrator, if you enable or disable security or change any option in the Java and JVM Settings page, you must stop and restart the ColdFusion MX process for your changes to take effect. This applies to the server configuration only; in the J2EE configuration, you use application-server-specific methods to update Java settings.

To manage the ColdFusion MX process on UNIX:

Log in as root, if you have not already done so.
Enter the following command:
```
cd cf_root/bin
```

Enter the appropriate command for what you need to do, as described in the following table:

Task	Command to enter
Start ColdFusion MX	coldfusion start
Stop ColdFusion MX	coldfusion stop
Restart ColdFusion MX	coldfusion restart
View performance information for ColdFusion MX	coldfusion status
Run Web Server Configuration Tool	coldfusion wsconfig

In some cases Linux might return a file not found error when you type in any of these commands. In which case, prefix them with a ./

For eg. to start Coldfusion:

./coldfusion start

On my RH9 host, when I run the web server config tool, I get an error that states "IOException exporting document to file:/localdisk/coldfusionmx/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF/jrun.xml" (permission denied). I don't understand how I could get permission denied writing to local disk as root.
