ns-admin(1M)

NAME
     ns-admin - Netscape Servers Administration Server

SYNOPSIS
     ns-admin -d config-directory

DESCRIPTION
     The config-directory argument tells the server the location of the server
     configuration files.  The ns-admin command should never be invoked from
     the shell.  During configuration of a Netscape server, you must specify a
     specific port number where your Netscape Administration server is to
     listen for admin requests.  A single Netscape administration server can
     manage all Netscape servers on a host.  The default port number is port
     81.

     Assuming you have not relocated the server root for your administration
     server, you can activate the administration server by executing the
     following command:

     /usr/ns-home/start-admin or /etc/init.d/ns_admin start

     Once the server is activated, you can administer your server by running
     the Netscape Navigator with the URL for your localhost and specifying the
     port number.  For instance, http://localhost:81/

     See the ns_httpd or ns_commerce release notes and the Netscape
     Communications or Commerce Server Administrator's for details on how to
     configure your Netscape servers.

     To shutdown the administration server invoke the following command

     /usr/ns-home/stop-admin or /etc/init.d/ns_admin stop
