# Resin[2x|3x] Tasks The resin2x and resin3x tasks start/stop Resin 2.x/3.x instances. Both tasks support the following parameters. ## Parameters
Name | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
dir | The installation directory of the Resin server | Yes
action | The action to perform. Valid values are "start" and "stop" to respectively start and stop the container. | Yes
testurl | A container URL to poll to test if the container has been started/stopped. If specified the task waits until the container has completely started/stopped. | No
warfile | The WAR file to deploy | No. One of warfile and earfile.
earfile | The EAR file to deploy | No. One of warfile and earfile.
resinconf | The configuration file to use instead of the default one | No
port | The TCP port that the container should listen to | No, default is 8080
tmpdir | The directory to which the container will be installed for the tests. | No (by default the system temporary directory is used)
output | Name of a file to write the output of the container to. If not specified, the standard output will be used | No
append | Whether output should be appended to or overwrite an existing file. | No, default is false
## Examples Start a Resin 3.x instance, wait for it to be started and stop it, waiting for it to be completely stopped:
    <parallel>
      <resin3x dir="${cactus.home.resin3x}" action="start"/>
      <sequential>
        <waitfor>
          <http url="http://localhost:${cactus.port}"/>
        </waitfor>
        <resin3x dir="${cactus.home.resin3x}" action="stop"/>
        <waitfor>
          <not>
            <http url="http://localhost:${cactus.port}"/>
          </not>
        </waitfor>
      </sequential>
    </parallel>
This is equivalent to the following (notice the use of the 'testurl' attribute:
    <resin3x dir="${cactus.home.resin3x}" action="start"
        testurl="http://localhost:${cactus.port}"/>
    <resin3x dir="${cactus.home.resin3x}" action="stop"
        testurl="http://localhost:${cactus.port}"/>
