Check Alfresco start-up

[barrie_smith]

Any ideas on how I might check that Alfresco has completed its initialization after starting Tomcat?
I had in mind some sort of script or application, but I don't know what to check.

Initialization takes approx 5 minutes and it would save repeatedly checking the alfresco.log file.

I'm running on Windows Server 2008 and using Alfresco Community 4.2.c

Thanks.

Hello,

simplest method: Make a ReST call on any GET ReST API web script you know has to succed - once a result is returned, Alfresco has completed starting up or failed to do so, when the result contains an error code.

Thanks for ur post
Soory, my query seems to be very basic, Can you please post how to set a ReST call, what application can I use to set a Rest call

I have used the Rest call for login

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=guest&pw=??????

If this responds with a ticket, then Alfresco has started.

Try the call in your browser
