  3. Select Start, Restart, or Stop.

Linux

To start and stop the Plastic SCM service on Linux systems, use the
plasticsd
script as sudo. Find the script in the following locations:
  • In the
    /etc/init.d
    directory to help with automatic start on system boot.
  • In the server installation directory,
    /opt/plasticscm5/server
    , by default.
  • Through the
    service
    command.
The
plasticsd
script has the following options:
plasticsd {start | stop | restart | status}

/etc/init.d/plasticsd start
/opt/plasticscm5/server/plasticsd stop
service plasticsd restart
/etc/init.d/plasticsd status
