NAME
       nanoctl - Starts and Stops Nanoweb


SYNOPSIS
       nanoctl command [...]


DESCRIPTION
       nanoweb.php  is  a  utility  which  allows  you to start and stop the Nanoweb HyperText Transfer Protocol
       (HTTP) server. Among this it allows you to show the current state of the running server.  If  Nanoweb  is
       running you'll find the full documentation under http://localhost/manual/


OPTIONS
       The command argument can be one out of the following:

       start     Brings up the Nanoweb Server.

       stop      Stops the Nanoweb daemon.

       restart   This command reinitializes Nanoweb, or with other words stops it first and starts it again.

       reload    Makes  Nanoweb  reread  the  main  server configuration files (by sending the HUP signal to the
                 running nanoweb.php).

       status    Shows a summary of the current server state.

       status who
                 Status page  which  lists  all  active  server  processes  (usually  there  is  more  than  one
                 "subserver").

       status detailed
                 Full status information.

       status vstats
                 Shows the status of all defined virtual hosts.

       status detailed-vstats
                 More detailed version of the above one.


NOTES
       You  really  don't need to use nanoctl to start and stop the Nanoweb server daemon. You could do all this
       with the standard UNIX kill(1) command. However nanoctl is of course much more easy and flexible to  use.
       It  is for example designed to easily allow to run the Nanoweb daemon on system bootup by simply creating
       a ln(1) symlink to nanoctl in the /etc/rc2.d/ directory for example.


BUGS
       nanoctl used to give too few error messages in the past, but this seems fixed currently.

       A common  mistake  is  to  run  nanoweb.php(8)  from  commandline,  which  doesn't  create  the  PID-file
       automatically and trying to stop nanoweb.php with nanoctl, which usually won't work that way.


FILES
       /var/run/nanoweb.pid
              This  file  holds  the  process  id  (PID) of the running nanoweb.php daemon to make it easier for
              nanoctl to stop it.
