## Starting and Stopping the Webserver
Login and run all server commands as root. SNApp-PI-HOST uses the utility "screen" and the script "snapp" found in /usr/local/bin to run the server. If the server is running the terminal command ```screen -r snapp``` will open up the terminal screen showing it running and reporting requests. To stop the server use ```Ctrl C``` while in this snapp terminal screen. Starting the webserver is done by running the snapp script with ```snapp```. This will create the snapp screen in the background and run the server. If you exit terminal at this stage the webserver remains running as it is now in "detached" mode. If you are uncertain if the webserver is running using ```screen -ls``` will reveal any screens running in the background and the one for the SNApp will be indicated by name. Lastly if you wish to detach from the snapp screen if you entered into it and leave it running on exit ```Ctrl A D``` will detach and leave the webserver running. Additional information on use of screen can be found on the man page here https://linux.die.net/man/1/screen. The server is not automatically set to start on boot therefore when you boot the pi you will be required to type ```snapp``` to start it. If you wish to have it start automatically every time on boot there are ways to do that through setting up a service or placing an entry in rc.local etc.
