zmcontrol start/stop suggestion

[PhishKiller]

I got tried of waiting for the 'STOP' to complete, before running 'START' when simply needing to 'kick' the system down/up after working on our SSL certs.

So.. I made this quick modification to the zmcontrol script.

- added 'restart' as a valid option:

my %COMMANDS = (
"restart" => \&doRestart,
"start" => \&doStartup,
"startup" => \&doStartup,
"stop" => \&doShutdown,
"shutdown" => \&doShutdown,
"maintenance" => \&setMaintenanceMode,
"status" => \&doStatus,
);

- added this tiny little sub

sub doRestart {
doShutdown();
return doStartup();
}

Feel free to add this to the wiki, and file an enhancement on it.

Usually, I just do
# zmcontrol stop; zmcontrol start;

True.. it's nearly as easy to do that but a 'restart' is easy to implement. Was there a reason it was not, to prevent certain potential problem(s)?

I'm not a big power wiki user but I can give it a shot!

Well, not really. I think the point is that Zimbra has a bunch of services that can can all be restarted independently. For example:
#tomcat restart
#mysql.server restart
etc
