how to restart single application from command line (linux)

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

we are trying to automate our wowza servers particularly the modification of the origin server in the edge configuration

then we need to restart only the edge application …

I am succesful in modify the edge configuration “Application.xml” using sed -i looking for and replacing the line

but then from linux the only thing i can do is to restart the whole wowza server via /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine restart

Looked around for a method to restart only application and tried with JMXCommandLine.java but without much success on the Wowza V4

Is there any more recent documentation about JMXCommandLine that works on v4 ?

Thanks a lot

Hemm … :rolleyes:

Note: This functionality is only supported in Wowza Media Server® 2 patch14 or greater.

there is also this:

For Wowza 4 there is a change: replace “WowzaMediaPro” with “WowzaStreamingEngine”.

Sorry, that guide is not updated yet, but will be soon.
