Restarting the plug-in server

To restart the plug-in server

1. Double-click the driver.exe file.
   The file is located at the following path:
   • (Windows) ARInstallationFolder\Arserver\api\driver

   • (UNIX) ARInstallationFolder/bin

     On UNIX, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the directory where the arserver.exe is located, for example, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= opt/bmc/ARSystem/bin.

2. To initialize, enter the init command.
3. To log in, enter the log command and provide details such as username, password, and server name.
   For more information about the driver.exe commands, see Using-the-driver-program-from-the-command-line.
4. If you are not using the port mapper, enter the ssp (Set Server Port) command and then enter the server port number.
5. For Using private socket, enter 0 or leave it blank.
6. To verify the login information, enter the ver command.

7. Enter the ssi command and perform the following actions: 

   1. Enter 1 for the Number of server info operations that you want to perform.
   2. Enter 348 as the Operation number to forcefully shut down the plug-in server.
   3. Enter 2 for integer as the Datatype. 
   4. Enter 0 or 1 as the Integer Value.

   
   When the AR monitor detects that the plug-in server is down, it checks if any changes are made to the ar.cfg file. If the changes are detected, the recent ar.cfg is loaded before the stopped plug-in server is automatically restarted.
