The simplest way to start and stop and OpenACS site is to run
the startup shell script provided, /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/etc/daemontools/run.
This runs as a regular task, and logs to the logfile. To stop the
-site, kill the script.
A more stable way to run OpenACS is with a "keepalive" mechanism -of some sort, so that whenever the server halts or is stopped for a -reset, it restarts automatically. This is recommended for -development and production servers.
The Reference Platform uses Daemontools to control AOLserver. A +site, kill the script.

The Reference Platform uses Daemontools to control AOLserver. A
simpler method, using init, is
here.
Daemontools must already be installed. If not, install it.
Verify that the controls work. You may want to tail -f /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/log/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME-error.log
in another window, so you can see what happens when you type these
-commands.
