As an experienced website operations expert, I know that the stable operation of every CMS system is inseparable from the silent support of its core components. Today, let's talk about a seemingly simple but crucial file in AnQiCMS - the scheduled task scriptstart.shWhere is it hidden, and what role does it play in the daily operation and maintenance of AnQiCMS?

Unveiling AnQiCMS: Task Schedule Scriptstart.shIts Hidden Place

For AnQiCMS users, whether it is the initial deployment or daily maintenance, understanding the storage location of its core files is a fundamental skill. When we talk about the AnQiCMS scheduled task scripts, such asstart.shIn fact, its position is quite clear and logically unified.

To put it directly, the AnQiCMS task script planstart.sh(and its accompanying)stop.sh)is usually placed inThe root directory under which the AnQiCMS project is deployed.This directory is the folder where all the core program files are located after you unzip the AnQiCMS package.

For example, if you choose to deploy AnQiCMS on a Linux server,/www/wwwroot/yourdomain.com/you will find thatstart.shthe script is located in/www/wwwroot/yourdomain.com/start.shThis design makes the startup, shutdown, and process guard logic of AnQiCMS highly integrated with the project itself, facilitating management and maintenance.

Manifestation in different deployment scenarios

1. Deployment in command line or traditional Linux environment

In scenarios where AnQiCMS is deployed without a graphical panel or using a pure command line methodstart.shThe role of the script is particularly prominent, and its storage location is also the most intuitive.

When you download the Linux installation package from the AnQiCMS official website and unzip it to the specified directory (for example)/www/wwwroot/anqicms.com) after,start.shThe file will be togetheranqicmsExecutable files,config.jsonConfiguration files, and other files will appear in this directory.

At this time, you need to manually configure the system'scrontabSchedule tasks to ensure the continuous operation of the AnQiCMS process and automatic restart in case of exceptions. For example, a typicalcrontabentry would be like this:

*/1 * * * * /www/wwwroot/anqicms.com/start.sh

Here,/www/wwwroot/anqicms.com/start.shwhich explicitly points outstart.shThe complete path of the script.This means that the system will execute this script every minute, checking if the main program of AnQiCMS is running. If it is not, it will restart it.stop.shThe script is used to safely stop the AnQiCMS service, and it is stored at the location ofstart.shthe same.

2. Use BT Panel (a visual tool like 1Panel) for deployment

For users accustomed to using visualization server management tools like Baota Panel or 1Panel, you may find thatstart.shThis script seems not as directly visible, as these panels often abstract the underlying operations.

However, even through the 'Go Project' feature on the panel or Docker container deployment, the AnQiCMS installation package, after unzipping,start.shandstop.shThe file will still exist in the root directory of your project. The panel may not directly invokestart.shto start the main program (for example, the Baota panel 7.9.3+ version will manage and start directly.anqicmsAn executable file), but these two scripts are still part of the AnQiCMS distribution package, quietly lying in the project directory, ready for manual execution or as a reference.They are a standard component of the AnQiCMS self-management mechanism.

For Docker deployment, the directory inside the AnQiCMS container is usually its working directory,/app/the directory is usually its working directory,start.shThe script will also exist at this path within the container and run along with the container. However, at the host level, you usually interact with the container using Docker commands or a panel interface, rather than directly executing on the host.start.sh.

start.shThe role and function of the script

Understood the storage location, let's briefly review it againstart.shThe core function of the script:

  1. Process guardian:start.shThe main function of the script is to act as a simple daemon. It checks if the main program of AnQiCMS (usually an executable file namedanqicms) is running.
  2. Auto Start/RestartIf the main program of AnQiCMS is not running,start.shit will execute a command to start it, and usually usenohup ... &The way to keep the program running in the background continuously, even if the terminal is closed, it will not be interrupted.This greatly improves the availability and stability of AnQiCMS services, avoiding prolonged downtime due to unexpected crashes.
  3. Path Management: The script inside will usually includeBINPATHandBINNAMEEnsure that variables such as these, can be correctly found and started even in different execution environments, to execute the AnQiCMS executable file.

In short,start.shThe script is a critical link in ensuring the persistent and stable operation of AnQiCMS.Although its direct invocation may be replaced by automation tools under modern deployment methods, its status as the core maintenance script of the project and its fixed presence in the project directory are still worth understanding for every AnQiCMS operator.

Common Questions (FAQ)

  1. Q: Why does AnQiCMS needstart.shSuch a plan task script?A:start.shThe script is mainly used to provide the resilience and high availability of AnQiCMS service.It acts as a guardian process, which can regularly check if the AnQiCMS main program is running normally.start.shIt will automatically restart it to minimize service interruption time and ensure the website continues to provide services to the public.This is crucial for automated operations, especially in unattended situations.

  2. Q: Can I move the scriptstart.shto a directory outside the AnQiCMS project directory?A: It is technically possible, but it is not recommended and additional configuration is required. If you move it, you must also modifycrontabThe path of the script being called, make sure it points to the new location. In addition,start.shThe script may contain relative paths or depend on its own directory to locate the AnQiCMS main program. It may require corresponding adjustments to the script's internal content after moving.BINPATHAvoid startup failures by using variables, **practice is to maintainstart.shIn the root directory of the AnQiCMS project, to ensure consistency with the environment of the AnQiCMS core program, and to reduce unnecessary troubles.

  3. Q: If I can't find the script in the project directorystart.shwhat should I do?A: If you can't find it in the root directory of the AnQiCMS projectstart.shthere may be the following situations:

    • Deploy DockerIn some Docker deployment schemes,start.shMay exist only within the container's filesystem and not directly exposed in the host machine's filesystem, you can manage the service through Docker commands.
    • Advanced integration of the panel management tool[en] Some newer versions of panel management tools (such as the "Go project" feature of Baota panel) may have highly integrated AnQiCMS startup and management logic, and they directly callanqicmsExecutable file, no longer requires manual configuration or direct invocationstart.sh.
    • Incomplete installation package or outdated versionCheck if the AnQiCMS installation package you downloaded is complete, or if it is an extremely early version that does not include this script (thoughchangelog.mdDisplay the scheduled task feature inv2.0.0-alpha5has already been added). In this case, it is recommended to redownload the latest stable version.
    • File permission issueSome files may not be displayed or deleted due to permission issues, check the file system permissions. If confirmed to be a normal deployment method, even if not directly seenstart.shAs long as the AnQiCMS service can start and run normally, there is usually no problem.
