Restart the service on Linux systems

Different Linux distributions use various commands to start and restart services. Some distributions provide GUI tools for this purpose (for example, bum). 

Most common commands for service management among Linux distributions are:

  • systemctl
  • service
  • /etc/init.d/...
Root privileges are required

Root privileges are required to run the command successfully. Use sudo or log in as root.

To restart the ESET PROTECT Server on a Linux system, stop the service, then restart using commands such as the ones shown below:

systemctl start eraserver
systemctl stop eraserver

or

service eraserver start
service eraserver stop

or

/etc/init.d/eraserver start
/etc/init.d/eraserver stop

 

Restart other ESET PROTECT services

These examples can be modified to restart / start / stop  other ESET PROTECT services such as eraagent, eramdmcore or eraproxy.
