Konica Minolta Printgroove - Manual (Page 13)

Printgroove ::Admin
Rev. 1.4 User’s Reference Guide 9
3.3.4 Control > System
To view or change the status of the system and its services, from the Control menu, click on
System in the modules list. The right-hand panel will display the current status of the server and
each of its services related to
Printgroove . The buttons at the top right allow the server hardware
to be shutdown or rebooted.
Most of the individual services allow the Administrator to start, stop or restart each one separately.
Exceptions exist that limit the number of options available (namely in services like the Apache web
server), since stopping such services would make the system uncontrollable via the web or
network. The services accessed through System Control include:
•
Apache2 - Web server used to manage incoming web requests. Restarting Apache2 will halt
all requests to Serve/Guide , meaning that communications will temporarily stop between the
SG modules. http://httpd.apache.org/About_Apache.html
•
Tomcat - Java web server used to host Queue . Restarting will temporarily halt all requests to
Queue, meaning that jobs going to or returning from Queue will stop processing until the
server is finished restarting and is back up.
http://tomcat.apache.org/
•
PdfServer - Used by Queue to inspect PDF files. Queue needs the PDF format for some of
it’s print jobs, so restarting this server will temporarily disable Queue from processing jobs.
•
Postgresql - Used to store data for Admin/Serve/SG/Queue . Restarting this server will
temporarily disable all modules, rendering the Printgroove system unusable.

•
OpenSSH - Used to remotely login to the Printgroove Server. When this is enabled, users
with correct authentication data will have remote secure shell access to the box. This is useful
for remote troubleshooting, but as a possible security risk, it is recommended that this be kept
disabled when unneeded.
•
License Server - Used to ensure that license restrictions for the server are valid. Restarting
will temporarily disable Serve/Guide/Queue modules.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Stopping any of the above-mentioned servers will stop communications
between the modules and Printgroove will not function properly until all servers are back online.
