Administering Communication Servers on UNIX hosts

You administer Communication Server services on UNIX hosts almost the same way as you administer Communication Server services on Windows hosts.

Export from the Design Center	The export from the Design Center is handled differently when handling Communication Servers on UNIX hosts. See Exporting the Communication Server configuration to the UNIX host.
First time connection to host	The first time you connect to a UNIX host in the Control Center you must activate the Console (select View > Console). In the Console, you must accept the key sent to you by the host. The next time you connect to the same host you do not have to activate the Console – unless you have changed the host name.
Host name format	When you connect to a UNIX host you use the following host name format: <user>@<host> For example: strs@190.153.8.25 If the remote host uses the SSH2 protocol for authentication, you may need to force the remote connection to use SSH2 instead of SSH1 by adding the -2 option to the host argument. For example: strs@190.153.8.25 -2
Executable	When you create the service you must specify which Communication Server executable to run. You do this by specifying the shell script strs_pm.sh. If this script is missing you can create it with the following command: $ln -s strs.sh strs_pm.sh
Terminating a service on UNIX	To be able to use the Terminate Process option for services running on Windows hosts you must add the -pid argument to the startup argument file. This is not necessary when terminating a Communication Server service on a UNIX host.
