Correct.  That's why I could =use a 'restart' command for WebDNA
that will actually work =from inside a [shell] context.

If you know =the proper command that should work please tell me and
I'll =try it again.  It's been a couple year since I worked on
this, and I cannot find any reference to the restart command =in
the online docs.

=46rom the command line, =start, stop as well as restart work
fine, as far as I =know.

But do the same commands =work from within the [shell] context?

The =reason I ask because shell scripts sometimes do not work the
same inside a [shell] context as when typed into a Terminal =window.

Here's my situation:

I want to give my client, the owner of the =server, a WebDNA-based
admin tool that will let him =remotely restart WebDNA (or better
yet, reboot the server) =if he discovers a problem while I am not
available. = This is a capability that any programmer/host in my
situation might want to give his clients.

I worked on this a couple years ago but ran into a little =problem:

When I tried restarting WebDNA by =entering the command in a
Terminal window it worked, but =when I used the same command in a
shell script it =failed.

I never took it any further back =then.  Maybe the problem was that
the same command in =WebDNA's [shell] context failed because WebDNA
is not ='root'?
