How do I Restart direct admin through ssh?
- Thread starter White Sox
- Start date
What Operating system?
Try service directadmin restart or /etc/init.d/directadmin restart
If DirectAdmin fails to start try executing the binary directly to see what the problem is.
cd /usr/local/directadmin
./directadmin
Try service directadmin restart or /etc/init.d/directadmin restart
If DirectAdmin fails to start try executing the binary directly to see what the problem is.
cd /usr/local/directadmin
./directadmin
You should know this if you choose FreeBSD as your platform. Without basic server knowledge you'll probably run into many more problems.
Try: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/directadmin restart
(It's a pretty old post tho, so this is just for the googlers)

No, because the $ chartacter indicates you'd be doing this as a non-root user. You can only restart a daemon as root.

You do not need the full path to the init script. FreeBSD now has a service script that works the same as Linux that checks init scripts in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d
You can simply do:
Code:
service directadmin restart#3 said it didn't work for him, so maybe his version of FreeBSD didn't have it yet.
If you're not sure which OS you're running, you can also run this, which would be a completely OS independent:
where the purpose of the task.queue.cb the --custombuild options are so that the dataskq skips the task.queue if it exists (in case there are backup tasks).
This would mainly be handy for scripts to run on any OS.

Code:
echo "action=directadmin&value=restart" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue.cb
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d20 --custombuildThis would mainly be handy for scripts to run on any OS.
