Managing the server on Linux
Use
the fmsmgr utility to perform basic management
tasks for Flash Media Server running on Linux systems, such as starting
and stopping the server and services. You must be a root user to
use the fmsmgr utility.
For tasks not listed in the following table, such as adding users
or checking the status of applications, use the Administration Console.
A root user must use the fmsmgr utility to start
the Flash Media Administration Server before anyone can use the
Administration Console. You do not need to be a root user to use
the Administration Console.
Note: Running multiple Flash Media Server services
concurrently is not supported.
Syntax
fmsmgr server <service_name> <cmd>
For
commands that use the <service_name> parameter,
if you do not specify <service_name>, the
command is performed on the name of the server you selected during
installation. The server name is fms by default.
If <service_name> does not exist, the command
fails.
