Command line parameters

An option to directly control Apache and MySQL servers is provided by running UniControler with a command line parameter. The servers can be controlled individually or both at the same time. UniController is automatically closed after executing a command parameter.

This page covers command parameters supported by UniController.

Parameters

UniController accepts one of the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
start_apache	Start Apache server
stop_apache	Stop Apache server
start_mysql	Start MySQL server
stop_mysql	Stop MySQL server
start_both	Starts Apache and MySQL servers
stop_both	Stops Apache and MySQL servers
pc_win_start	Automatic start-up Details see note 2

Note 1: Before starting UniCotroller with a parameter first ensure servers have been configured and function correctly. In other words start UniController normally and test the servers.
Note 2: With the exception of pc_win_start UniController is closed after executing the command line parameter. Detailed use of pc_win_start is covered in section PC-Win start-up on the "Extra Utilities" page.

Batch file examples

Create the following batch files shown on the right and place them in folder UniServerZ.

Run each file pair for example start_apache.bat/stop_apache.bat demonstrates starting and stopping the Apache server.

Note: If the batch files are located outside of folder UniServerZ for example folder UniServerZ and batch files are located at the top-level of C drive adjust path to UniController.exe in each batch file. For example batch files for Apache become:	start_apache.bat UniController.exe start_apache pause	stop_apache.bat UniController.exe stop_apache pause
start_apache.bat C:\UniServerZ\UniController.exe start_apache pause	start_mysql.bat UniController.exe start_mysql pause	stop_mysql.bat UniController.exe stop_mysql pause
stop_apache.bat C:\UniServerZ\UniController.exe stop_apache pause	start_both.bat UniController.exe start_both pause	stop_both.bat UniController.exe stop_both pause

Note: Although absolute paths are shown (C:\UniServerZ\UniController.exe) if you wish you can use relative paths (UniServerZ\UniController.exe).
