The Deployer tool has many commands. In Deployinging Deploying and undeploying applications section we have explored mainly deploy and undeploy and very briefly list-modules. This section is going to focus on the latter command to retrieve the name of the module we want to change the status and will introduce two new commands, start and stop. Later we will discuss the use of the Geronimo Administration Console as the alternative method.

We used this portlet in the Deployinging Deploying and undeploying applications section to install and remove applications via the Geronimo Administration Console. From this same portlet you can also change the status of the applications. The available commands within the portlet will change depending on the status for each application. If the application is in running status (started), the commands Stop and Restart will be displayed. If the application is stopped, only the command Start will be displayed. The Uninstall command will always be displayed independently of the status of the application. To change the status of the application just click on the command (Start or Stop).
