Server Scripts

Server scripts work just like Package Scripts, but they only apply to server-related interceptor points, and they go in your server.json. If you have several servers in a folder with their own server-name.json files, the server scripts can be different per server.

The interception points which will fire a server script are:

  • preServerStart

  • onServerStart

  • onServerInstall

  • onServerInitialInstall

  • onServerStop

  • preServerForget

  • postServerForget

Read more about when these interception points fire here.

Configure server scripts like so in your server.json:

{
    "scripts":{
        "onServerInstall":"cfpm list"
    }
}

Ad-hoc server scripts

Just like package scripts, you can also create ad-hoc scripts for a given server. They are executed with the server run-script command. Define them as additional keys in the scripts block.

{
    "name" : "My Server"
    "scripts":{
        "myScript":"server log --follow"
    }
}

And run them like so:

server run-script myScript
