How to confirming the Runmode

When using CQ5 quickstart, it’s easy to know what runmode you’re using, as it’s defined by the jar file name itself – eg; cq-author-4502.jar. But if you use the start/stop scripts and want to confirm they are configured correctly or are using a CQ5 instance that has been previously started by someone else, you might want to be 100% sure of the runmode(s) that CQ5 is operating in. The easiest way to do this is through the OSGi console. 

CQ5.5

Open the OSGi console and click the Configuration Status button (or navigate directly to http://SERVER:PORT/system/console/config)
Traverse through the tabs with the >> link on the right, and select the Sling Settings tab Confirm the runmodes

AEM (CQ5.6)
Open the OSGi console and navigate to Main > OSGi > Sling > Web Console > Configuration Status (or navigate directly to http://SERVER:PORT/system/console/config)
Traverse through the tabs with the >> link on the right, and select the Sling Settings tab then Confirm the runmodes
