Notes About Specific Commands and Tools
serversetup
The serversetup utility is located in /System/Library/ServerSetup. To run this
command, you can type the full path, for example:
$ /System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -getAllPort
Or, if you want to use the utility to perform several commands, you can change your
working directory and type a shorter command:
$ cd /System/Library/ServerSetup
$ ./serversetup -getAllPort
$ ./serversetup -getDefaultInfo
or add the directory to your search path for this session and type an even shorter
command:
$ PATH = "$PATH:/System/Library/ServerSetup"
$ serversetup -getAllPort
To permanently add the directory to your search path, add the path to the file
/etc/profile.
serveradmin
You can use the serveradmin tool to perform many service-related tasks. You’ll see it
used throughout this guide.
Determining Whether a Service Needs to be Restarted
Some services need to be restarted after you change certain settings. If a change you
make using a service’s writeSettings command requires that you restart the service,
the output from the command includes the setting <svc>:needsRecycleOrRestart
with a value of yes.
Important: The needsRecycleOrRestart setting is displayed only if you use the
serveradmin svc:command = writeSettings command to change settings. You
won’t see it if you use the serveradmin settings command.
