Updated over 8 months ago

Overview

You can start or stop services on a Unix system. You can use the following commands to control services on Unix clients.


❗ Important

The administrator must log in as a root user to run these commands. If the administrator is not logged in as a root user, they must prefix sudo in the command line. An administrator may use these scripts to temporarily stop and then start the Phoenix services as part of a troubleshooting or an upgrade procedure.
