To start or stop a PAS for OpenEdge instance using the PASMAN command-line utility:
  1. Run the Proenv utility.
  2. Run the pasman pasoestart command:
    pasman pasoestart -I instance-name -timeout 200

    The pasoestart command produces a more stable and predictable startup process by performing the start actions, and then the error checking and process validation. It executes until the instance starts without any fatal errors, or until a timeout limit is reached and the startup process is stopped.

  3. Run the pasman env command to retrieve system information such as the HTTP port:
    pasman env -I instance-name
  4. Test that the server is running by entering the following URL into a web browser:
    http://localhost:port

    The port is the HTTP port that you set when creating the instance and is listed by the pasman env command. Use localhost for local instances, or enter the name of the remote host.

  5. Shut down the server by running the pasman stop command:
    pasman stop -I instance-name
