In some builds of MX you have to run as "root", there are ways of giving "root" like permissions when running MX as another user, see forum for details until this section has been updated. | In some builds of MX you have to run as "root", there are ways of giving "root" like permissions when running MX as another user, see forum for details until this section has been updated. | ||
==Stopping MX== | |||
The best way to stop MX is by sending a '''control and C''' sequence to it. There is a start stop routine discussed in the support forum, where you will also find some topics about shutdown issues. | |||
The MX source listing suggests it also accepts ''control and break'', '''Close main window''', ''user logoff'', and '''system shutdown''' and should still attempt to stop running tidily. There are various tasks like writing final values to log files and recreating the configuration file, [[Cumulus.ini]], that it needs to do as part of the MX closing routine, and obviously early closure of the device running MX (such as that caused by a power cut) will prevent a tidy end to MX. | |||

Beta builds in MX version 3.0.0 had an optional parameter <tt>-wsport nnnn</tt> that determined which port (represented by a 4 digit number ''nnnn'') was used for '''WebSockets'''. That parameter is now deprecated as WebSockets in all builds since 3045 uses the same port as the rest of the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#The_API_interface|Admin Interface]]. The remaining parameters that are still available are described in subsequent sub-sections. | |||

Since this parameter is applied when you start MX, it applies while MX continues to run. Obviously, it must be applied every time you start MX if you want this increased level of logging to continue every time you restart MX. | Since this parameter is applied when you start MX, it applies while MX continues to run.

The comments in the MX source suggests this turns on both debug and data logging (see [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Options|Station_Settings#Options]] in admin interface settings). | |||

Note that you ''may'' need to supply your administrator password after typing the 'sudo ...' command line.
