Zimbra restart command?

Hi,
just a little question, but I ask it anyway. Is there a command to restart the zimbra server? I am currently working on the german language files, so i have to restart Zimbra very often. I only know the possibility with "zmcontrol stop" and "zmcontrol start".
It would be useful if I could do this with one command.

If you are doing lang files you just need to restart Tomcat. That will be faster. As zimbra run:
/opt/zimbra/bin/tomcat restart

BTW: If you are setup in dev mode(ie from CVS) you can do this with just dev-sync ANT target. It will touch the right files to trigger the lang files to reload.

As I have very little time ATM I didn't try the CVS version yet. Still running the Network Edition Beta.

I didn't find much about this "dev mode" on the forums. What is it?

Basically means your building/deploying from Eclipse or the like. So you'd have your own local copy of the source and use the manager app in Tomcat to live deploy new versions. ZimbraServer/docs/INSTALL.txt has some data on this. You'd get this from CVS or the Source download. In general you don't want to setup this way on a production server but it works much better for development.
