True enough - but I'm not running a linux box and bringing up web2py from cmd line is straightforward. Shutting down web2py on a windows box normally hangs. On linux $: kill #### is issued. However, since it's a live server - one that is not under my control (for darn good reason), I'm simply exercising an abundance of caution to make sure I don't create a headache for myself.
I should have clarified my request more carefully. I'm assuming the steps are: Step 1. from ssh $: kill #### (corresponding to the ps aux | grep web2py reply) Step 2: Copy new files to web2py Step 3: from python cmd shell python web2py.py On Monday, August 6, 2012 12:55:52 PM UTC-4, viniciusban wrote: > > You'll do this in a test environment before, right? ;-) > > > On 08/06/2012 01:37 PM, wdtatenh wrote: > > I'm about to update the src code on a live site hosted by webfaction. > > I'm assuming that web2py server must be stopped and restarted. > > > > Web2py is running from the original installation script and has never > > had to be shutdown before.
