Simple management of servers

The following command simply checks the status of the FTP server:

service vsftpd status

This command restarts the FTP server if there's any problem with it:

sudo service vstfpd restart

The service utility that we have used lets you restart the database and web server using these two commands:

sudo service mysql restart
sudo service apache2 restart

Use the following command to check the status of the MySQL server:

mysqladmin -u root -p status

If you believe that the database has grown too much in size, you can start the MySQL console and run a SQL query to see the database size:

mysql –u root –p
mysql> SELECT table_schema "DB", Round(Sum(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024, 1) "Size in MB" 
FROM information_schema.tables ...
