Can I restart Matillion server from command line?

Is it possible to restart Matillion while I'm on the server?

 

We have Matillion running on an AWS EC2 instance. It takes a long time to restart the instance.

I can login to the instance with a terminal emulator. Is there a command-line option for me to restart Matillion?

The problem is there are times when Matillion goes down or is locked up so that I can't reach the login page. So restarting from inside Matillion UI is not possible.

I was hoping to restart from the terminal without having to bring down the entire EC2 instance.

 

Cheers

You could try "sudo service tomcat8 restart" to restart the tomcat server. This could help if the UI is locked.

 

Please note, that the command might differ with newer Matillion releases >= 1.69 as they have upgraded the Tomcat version and I think it is no longer "tomcat8" which should be used in the above command.
