Start/Stop

Overview

This section describes how to start / stop the enebular-agent.

Description

Service

enebular-agent runs as a Linux service.
Linux services are programs that run in the background when Linux starts up. Linux services can be controlled using the systemctl command. Also, if the service has been stopped for any reason, the restart will be performed according to the definition in the File Option: Restart Restart Parameter in this chapter. This service is common to AWS IoT and Pelion Device Management. --no-startup-register in Installation procedure-Option is omitted and the explanation is based on the premise that automatic service start is enabled.

Command

The description of the systemctl command is as follows.

(sudo) systemctl [CommandOrder] [Service name]

Command Order

The main instructions that can be used, the need and description of sudo, are listed in the following table.

command order sudo necessity description
start necessary Start the service
stop necessary Stop the service
enable necessary Enable service automatic start (Note 1)
disable necessary Disable service automatic start (Note 1)
status unnecessary Display the status of services (start / stop)
is-enabled unnecessary Display the status of service automatic start (enabled / disabled)
  • Note 1: The service automatic startup is to start the service when Linux starts up. "Enable" starts the service, "Disable" does not start the service. The configured service automatic startup status will operate from the next startup of Linux.

Service Name

The service name is as follows:

enebular-agent-<user>.service

is the user specified in -u or--user of Installation procedure-Option. Also, if the option -u or--user is omitted, becomes enebular. If the user is enebular, the service name is:

enebular-agent-enebular.service

Example

Example Command

The specific command description of the instruction described in Command is as follows.

  • start sudo systemctl start enebular-agent-<user>.service
  • stop sudo systemctl stop enebular-agent-<user>.service
  • enable sudo systemctl enable enebular-agent-<user>.service
  • disable sudo systemctl disable enebular-agent-<user>.service
  • status systemctl status enebular-agent-<user>.service
  • is-enabled systemctl is-enabled enebular-agent-<user>.service

status command response

The status of the service (start / stop) by the response of the status command is shown in the following table.

response service status
Active: line contains active Start-up
Active: line contains failed Stop

The actual response has 10 lines, including the following lines: Startup example:

Active: active (running) since Tue 2019-03-19 02:04:38 JST; 1 weeks 1 days ago

response service automatic start status
enabled Effectiveness
disabled Invalid

Changing the status of service automatic startup

The procedure for changing the status of service automatic startup is shown below. The configured service automatic startup status will operate from the next startup of Linux.

  • When setting the status of service automatic start to "Enable"
    1. Display the status (enabled / disabled) of service auto-starting systemctl is-enabled <service name>
    2. If the service automatic start status is "disabled", go to 3. If "enable", the end
    3. Set the status of service automatic startup to "enable" sudo systemctl enable <service name>
    4. Display the status (enabled / disabled) of service automatic startup systemctl is-enabled <service name>
    5. Confirm that the status of service automatic start is "enabled"
  • When setting the status of service automatic start to "disabled"
    1. Display the status (enabled / disabled) of service auto-starting systemctl is-enabled <service name>
    2. If the service automatic start status is "Enabled", go to 3. If "Disabled", exit
    3. Set the status of service automatic startup to "disabled" sudo systemctl disabled <service name>
    4. Display the status (enabled / disabled) of service automatic startup systemctl is-enabled <service name>
    5. Confirm that the status of service automatic start is "disabled"

file

The file .service, which is <service name>, is in/etc/ systemd/system/`.

The enebular-agent-<user>.service file is described below.
