6.7 Starting & Stopping BEAR

July 6th, 2025

RBAC required: BEAR: HTTP controls

The Admin interface allows control of the following three system operations:

  • The BEAR application server service
  • The BEAR shared memory realm
  • The host operating system

Never perform a service restart or server reboot without access to the physical host or console. In the event of a failure, direct intervention may be required.

It should be obvious that if a BEAR shutdown is performed instead of a restart, then the application server can only be restarted using the backend command start_appserver. Similarly, if a server shutdown is performed, then physical access to the host will be required to power it back on again.

To control BEAR, do the following:

  1. From the admin Tools menu, select HTTP Control and open the Process Control tab.
