Using the fmsmgr utility

Use the fmsmgr utility to perform basic management tasks for the Flash Admin Service running on Linux systems. You must be a root user to use the fmsmgr utility.

Syntax

fmsmgr server <service_name> <cmd>

The following table describes the commands for the fmsmgr utility.

Command

Description

fmsmgr server adminserver start|stop|abort|restart

Starts, stops, restarts, or aborts the Flash Admin Service.

fmsmgr server clearautostart

Sets the Flash Admin Service to be started manually.

This command affects only the server service; Admin services cannot be started automatically.

fmsmgr server fms getadmin

Gets the name of the Flash Admin Service and indicates whether or not that service is running.

fmsmgr list

Lists all the services installed, including Admin Services, with additional information about services that are currently running.

fmsmgr fms server remove

fmsmgr fms adminserver remove

Removes the Flash Media Server 2 service or the Admin service from the fmsmgr tables. If you remove a server service, the corresponding Admin service is also removed.

Warning: Use this command only if you want to uninstall the server; you still need to manually remove the installed files.

fmsmgr server [service_name] abort

Stops a running Flash Media Server service. service_name is the name of the server you selected during installation. Processes, such as streaming or garbage collection, are not allowed to complete.

If no name is specified, the action is performed on the default server.

fmsmgr server [service_name] restart

Stops a running Flash Media Server service and restarts it. If no name is specified, the action is performed on the default server. If the default service_name doesn't exist, the command fails.

fmsmgr server [service_name] stop

Stops the specified Flash Media Server service. service_name is the name of the server you selected during installation. If no name is specified, the action is performed on the default server. If the default service_name doesn't exist, the command fails.

fmsmgr server [service_name] start

Starts the Flash Media Server service. service_name is the name of the server you selected during installation.

fmsmgr setadmin service_name 

Changes the default Admin service. service_name is the name of the server you selected during installation. The Admin service name is the same as the Flash Media Server 2 service name. Any installed Admin service can be used to administer one or more servers. Only one Admin service can be running at a time.

fmsmgr setautostart

Sets the Flash Media Server service to start automatically when the system is started.

For other administrative tasks, such as adding users or checking the status of applications, you use the management console. For more information, see Using the management console. Although you do not need to be a root user to use the management console, the Admin service itself does need to be started by a root user using the fmsmgr utility before anyone can use the management console.

When I hope to start adminserver I executed a command as "fmsmgr server adminserver start". But I got the following error message and the adminserver didn't start.
------------------------------------------------------------
Server:adminserver command:start
Server service adminserver not found. Exiting.
------------------------------------------------------------

I executed "fmsmgr adminserver start" and the adminserver started.
fmsmgr has stop, abort and restart option and these options cause same error message. I think the manual may be wrong.

The command 'fmsmgr server adminserver start' would fail with the following error:
---------------------------
Server:adminserver command:start
Server service adminserver not found. Exiting.
---------------------------

The correct syntax should be 'fmsmgr adminserver start'.
