Starting and stopping Jetty

To start Jetty, use the following command:

service jetty7 start

To stop Jetty, use:

service jetty7 stop

In case you encounter problems while stopping Jetty service, you can always use the kill command:

killall -9 java

Jetty service can be restarted by either issuing a combination of stop and start commands or:

service jetty7 restart

Changing Jetty version

Prior to changing the Jetty version, it is necessary to stop the running of Jetty service, if any.

service jetty7 stop

... or ...

killall -9 java

After service has been stopped, you can proceed with removal of the existing installation, make sure to backup any files you may want to keep.

yum remove eroute-jetty7

In case of Debian/Ubuntu, you would be using apt-get remove instead.

After Jetty has been removed successfully, you can proceed with installation of the new version.

Notes

We advise against updating Jetty versions from usual repositories and waiting on our official installation packages as they are preconfigured for optimal performance on our VPS servers and they are very easy to setup.
