ssh questions

[peterv6]

A few weeks ago, I set up an ssh server on my Ubuntu machine. It worked perfectly. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert at this stuff, and I forgot how to start, stop, restart & check the status of the server from the command line. Can anyone help me out with the commands?
Thanks....

To see if it's running...
ps -eaf |grep sshd
Will output...
root 5484 1 0 Sep29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd

To stop/start. As root...
/etc/init.d/ssh stop
/etc/init.d/ssh start

You could also use restart in place of start/stop.

From the /etc/init.d/ssh script:

"Usage: /etc/init.d/ssh {start|stop|reload|force-reload|restart}"

Presumin that it's the ssh and openssh-server You innstalled.

And since this is Ubuntu You need to use sudo, so

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

to restart sshserver.
