STATUS

The STATUS command is the most basic of all. It can be used (and is used) to confirm that an NGAS server instance is correctly running. It simply returns a status XML document containing information about the server runtime, like its state, disks, etc.

In particular, it can also be used to query the status of a previous client request when given a request_id URL query parameter. See Requests database for more details.

OFFLINE

Sends the NGAS server to the OFFLINE state. See States.

ONLINE

Sends the NGAS server to the ONLINE state. See States.

EXIT

Stops the NGAS server. The server must be in the OFFLINE state for the EXIT command to be successful.
