Starting and Monitoring the Server, Setting up the Server for Network Access
Monitoring the Server Status and Stopping the Server via Command Prompts

You can use a command line (Start > Run) to query the status of the Chromeleon Server or stop the Server via a command prompt.

To query the status of the Chromeleon Server

1. Type cmd  in the Run dialog box.

2. Enter the CmMon /status command in the Command Prompt window.

Depending on the current server status, one of the following values is reported:

To automate the query, you can create a batch file (.bat file) that autoexecutes the cmMon /status command for you. Such a batch file (serverstatus.bat) could look as follows:

@echo off
rem serverstatus.bat 
cmmon /status 
if errorlevel 2 goto act
if errorlevel 1 goto idle 
if errorlevel 0 goto down 
:act 
echo Chromeleon Server is active 
goto end 
:idle 
echo Chromeleon Server is idle 
goto end 
:down 
echo Chromeleon Server is down 
goto end 
:end

To stop the Chromeleon Server

If needed, the Server can be stopped via a command prompt.  

1. Type cmd  in the Run dialog box.

2. Enter the CmReg /stopsafely command in the Command Prompt window.

To prevent that the Server is stopped during processing a batch, you can create a batch file that autoexecutes the cmReg /stopsafely command for you when it is safe to stop the Server. Such a batch file (stopsafely.bat) could look as follows:

@echo off
rem stopsafely.bat
cmreg /stopsafely 
if errorlevel 1 goto isactive
if errorlevel 0 goto stoprequested 
:isactive 
echo The Chromeleon Server is active and cannot be stopped right now 
goto end 
:stoprequested 
echo A stop request has been sent to the Chromeleon Server
goto end 
:end
