Manually stop, start, or restart your server.

The Unity Version Control (UVCS) server starts automatically on server boot, and when the installation process finishes.

Manage your server on the following systems:

• Windows
• Linux
• macOS

Windows#

3. Select Start, Restart, or Stop.

Use the command line#

plasticd {--start |--stop | --restart}

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}

Example commands#

/etc/init.d/plasticsd start

/opt/plasticscm5/server/plasticsd stop

service plasticsd restart

/etc/init.d/plasticsd status
