Dr.Web Server Management under UNIX System-Based OS

Interface and Dr.Web Server Management

Dr.Web Server has no interface. As a rule, Dr.Web Server can be managed via Dr.Web Security Control Center, which acts as an interface for Dr.Web Server.

Dr.Web Server installation folder has the following structure:

/opt/drwcs/ for Linux OS and /usr/local/drwcs for FreeBSD OS:

bin—Dr.Web Server executable files.

doc—license agreements files.

ds-modules—unpacked script modules.

fonts—fonts for PDF documents.

lib—libraries set for the Dr.Web Server operation.

vfs—packed script modules and language packages.

webmin—Control Center elements.

websockets—web sockets scripts.

/var/opt/drwcs/ for Linux OS and /var/drwcs for FreeBSD OS:

backup—backups of DB and other critical data.

coredump—Dr.Web Server crash dumps. Created at dumps appearance.

etc—general configuration files of anti-virus network components.

extensions—scripts of user hooks meant to automate the performance of certain tasks.

installers-cache—cache to store Agent personal and group installation packages when stations are created via the Control Center. Created at installation packages creation.

file-cache—file cache.

log—Dr.Web Server log files.

plugins—temporary plug-ins objects.

objects—Control Center objects cache.

reports—temporary folder for generating and storing reports. Created when necessary.

repository—repository folder to store actual updates of virus bases, anti-virus packages files and anti-virus network components. The folder contains subfolders for the program components software which include subfolders for their versions depending on the OS. The folder should be accessible for writing to the user under which Dr.Web Server is launched (the drwcs as a rule).

run—Dr.Web Server process ID.

sessions—Control Center sessions.

tmp—temporary files.

twin-cache—unpacked virus bases for backward compatibility with previous versions of Dr.Web Agents. Also, can contain other unpacked repository files, e.g., the Agent installer.

upload—folder to download temporary files which are specified via the Control Center. Created at large files downloading.

/etc/opt/drweb.com/ for Linux OS and /usr/local/etc/drweb.com for FreeBSD OS:

software/drweb-esuite.remove—script to remove Dr.Web Server.

also additional files and folders are possible.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ for FreeBSD OS:

drwcsd—script to start and stop Dr.Web Server.

/var/tmp/drwcs—backup after the Dr.Web Server removal.

Start and Stop Dr.Web Server

By default, Dr.Web Server automatically starts after installation and every time after restarting the operating system.

Also you can start or start, restart or stop Dr.Web Server by one of the following ways:

Stop and restart via the Control Center:

In the Administration section, use buttons: icon-server-reboot to restart, icon-server-stop to stop.

Using the corresponding console command (see also the Appendices document, p. H3. Dr.Web Server):

Start:

for FreeBSD OS:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/drwcsd start

for Linux OS:
# /etc/init.d/drwcsd start

Restart:

for FreeBSD OS:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/drwcsd restart

for Linux OS:
# /etc/init.d/drwcsd restart

Stop:

for FreeBSD OS:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/drwcsd stop

For Linux OS:
# /etc/init.d/drwcsd stop

Please note, if you need Dr.Web Server to read environment variables, the service must be rebooted via the console command.
