<p id="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_p3"><a name="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_p3"><!-- --></a>The Servers view displays the current status of all
the servers. The <strong>Status</strong> column indicates whether or not a server has
been started. The following lists the possible server status:</p>
<ul>
<li id="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_ul2li1"><a name="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_ul2li1"><!-- --></a>Starting</li>
<li id="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_ul2li2"><a name="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_ul2li2"><!-- --></a>Started</li>

</ul>
<p id="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_p4"><a name="rwrcview_wst__rwrcview_p4"><!-- --></a>The Servers view also displays the current state
of all the servers. Depending on the status of the server and the preference
options that are selected for that particular server, the workbench determines
the server actions that may be taken. Use the <strong>State</strong> column as an indicator
for possible actions that you may want to take. For example, if the workbench
detects that a file defined to run on a particular server has changed, and
the <span class="uicontrol">Automatically restart servers when necessary</span> check
box has been selected on the Server preferences page ( <span class="uicontrol">Window &gt;
Preferences &gt; Server &gt; Launching</span>), the server tools
automatically restart that server. The <span class="uicontrol">Status</span> column
in the Servers view changes from <var class="varname">Started</var> to <var class="varname">Stopped</var> to
<var class="varname">Started</var>. However, if this check box is not selected, the
<span class="uicontrol">State</span> column in the Servers view changes to <var class="varname">Republish</var>.</p>
