Checking the status of your server

There are several ways to check the status of your server, depending on your operating 

system and available software:

You can use the

 ps auxww 

or

 ps  ef 

command (if available on your system) to 

display information on all currently running processes. 

You can use the

 jobs 

command (if available on your system) to display 

information on all jobs which are executing or which have been stopped.

You can access your site by using The Palace User software, which is available for 

both Windows and Macintosh platforms, or the web based Palace Viewer.

Connecting to and visiting your Palace 

Once your Palace is up and running, you can explore it, socialize with other people, 

and do various maintenance tasks such as adding scripts, rooms, and artwork. You do 

this by connecting to your site from a Palace client. A Palace client is similar to a Web 

browser; it is a graphical interface that lets you visit Palaces (including your own). 

There are two types of Palace clients you can use:

The standalone Palace User Software. This is an application that you download 

from the 

Downloads

 page of The Palace web site, and install on your machine. You 

must use this client to add and edit rooms.
