where seconds represents the number of seconds the server will wait before timing
out.
The advantages to configuring this value is that the server will wait longer for
connections to complete. However, because servers often have connections open
from nonresponsive clients, increasing the termination timeout may increase the
time it takes for the server to shut down.
Restarting the Server (UNIX/Linux)
You can restart the server using one of the following methods:
•
Automatically restart it from the
Note that if you are using a version of UNIX/Linux not derived from System V
(such as SunOS™ 4.1.3), you will not be able to use the
•
Automatically restart it with daemons in
reboots.
•
Restart it manually.
Because the installation scripts cannot edit the
files, you must edit those files with a text editor. If you do not know how to edit
these files, consult your system administrator or system documentation.
Normally, you cannot start an SSL-enabled server with either of these files because
the server requires a password before starting. Although you can start an
SSL-enabled server automatically if you keep the password in plain text in a file,
this is not recommended.
CAUTION
Leaving the SSL-enabled server's password in plain text in the server's start
script is a large security risk. Anyone who can access the file has access to
the SSL-enabled server's password. Consider the security risks before
keeping the SSL-enabled server's password in plain text.
The server's start script, key pair file, and the key password should be owned by
root (or, if a non-root user installed the server, that user account), with only the
owner having read and write access to them.
Starting SSL-enabled Servers Automatically
If security risks are not a concern for you, follow these steps to start your
SSL-enabled server automatically:
