This guide contains information on managing an Orion server.

Operating the server

Starting the server

The server is started by simply invoking the "eclipse" executable (eclipse.exe on Windows, "eclipse" on Unix platforms). Starting the OSGI console by passing the "-console" argument is also recommended:

 eclipse -console

Stopping the server

To stop the server, go to the OSGi console and type "close". You can also simply kill the server process, but an orderly shutdown is always recommended to ensure all data is correctly persisted.
