# caudiumctl

control the &caudium;

          caudiumctl
          start |
            stop |
            restart |
            reload

## Description

This is a simple program modelled after the `apachectl` utility that serves the purpose of controlling the &caudium;. With this program, the administrator can control, to some extent, the Caudium process state.

## Options

- start - start the server.

- stop - stop the running server.

- restart - restart the running server.

- reload - reload the configuration of a running server.

## Config files

The configuration for this program is kept in the `/etc/default/caudium` file which is sourced by `caudiumctl` on startup. The administrator is able to set the following options in the file:

> caudiumhome - specifies the location of the &caudium;

> pidfile - specifies the location of a file where Caudium stores its PID.

> wwwuser - specifies the user under which the &caudium; will run.

> killallwww - if set to yes, then the script will kill all processes running as the user spcified in the wwwuser variable above.
