How to stop and start services

WAS THIS PAGE HELPFUL? Leave Feedback

Overview

Commands for services, agents, and applications are outlined on this page. For most of the services the format of the command starts with /etc/init.d/groundwork and includes the <type of action> and the <name of service>. 

In most cases, stopping, starting, and restarting any of the services is not advised. These services are interdependent upon one another. Restarting gwservices or other GroundWork Monitor services may make UI components unresponsive in the browser. If you must stop and start one of these services have all users log out of the server first.
