You can use the same command, but pass `stop` to it to have it stop. You'll probably want to manage this through an init script, ie put it inside /etc/init.d and use chkconfig (Redhat/Fedora distros) or update-rc.d (Debian based systems) to start and stop at the relevant runlevels. There are templates for such scripts included in doc/templates- Cheers, - Marius -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
