# komrunning(8)

program to control if the LysKOM server is running

## NAME

KOMMRUNNING - program to control if the LysKOM server is running

## SYNOPSIS

**komrunning** \[*-c config-file*\] \[*-v*\|*-V*\] \[*start*\|*stop*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **kommrunning** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

*komrunning* controls the state of the LysKOM server, together with the **updateLysKOM** program, which is run via cron.

## OPTIONS

**komrunning**, when invoked with no arguments, reports whether *lyskomd* is currently running or not, and whether it should be running or not. **komrunning start** attempts to start *lyskomd*. **komrunning stop** attempts to stop lyskomd, and it will not return until the server has saved its database and exited.

*komrunning* uses the same configuration file as *lyskomd*. You can use *-c config-file* to override the compiled-in default. Note, however, that this option is not passed along to *updateLysKOM* if *komrunning* invokes it, so the option should be used with extreme caution.

**-v** and **-V** causes *komrunning* to report its version number and exit.

## SEE ALSO

[**dbck**(8)](/dbck/8.md), [**lyskomd**(8)](/lyskomd/8.md), [**updateLysKOM**(8)](/updateLysKOM/8.md).

The program is documented fully by *lyskomd Reference Manual*, available via the Info system.
