To stop the server, just kill the processes, and it will shut down:
yak:~/jabber-1.4.1$ killall jabberdor:
yak:~/jabber-1.4.1$ kill `cat jabber.pid`We've seen the -h switch to specify the host when starting
the server up. There are other switches available on the command line, too;
they are listed in Table 3-1.
|
Switch |
Relating to |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
-c |
Alternate configuration |
Use this to specify an alternative configuration file if you don't want to use jabber.xml. |
|
-D |
Debugging info |
Specifying this switch will cause (a large amount of) debugging information to be sent to STDERR. |
|
-h |
Hostname |
The hostname of the Jabber server. |
|
-H |
Home folder |
Used to specify "home" folder or directory. |
|
-s |
Spool area |
The directory where the Jabber server stores data via the xdb_file module. |
|
-v |
Show version |
Reports Jabber server version and exits. |
|
-V |
Show version |
Same as -v. |
|
-Z |
Debugging info |

Table 3-1. Command-line switches
Starting the Jabber server with any unrecognized switches will cause it to show you a list of valid switches:
[yak: ~/jabber-1.4.1]$ ./jabberd/jabberd -badswitch
Usage:
jabberd &
Optional Parameters:
-c configuration file
-D enable debug output
-H location of home folder
-v server version
-V server versionYes, the list that it shows isn't complete. If the common switch
-h were present in the list, we could almost
consider the unlisted switches as undocumented, but it isn't present,
so we won't.
1.The "zones" are the filenames that immediately follow the timestamp in the debug log records, for example, xdb_file or deliver. Specifying one or more zones will limit debug output to lines that pertain to those zones.
