Managing service

Linux-based operating systems

All operating systems supported by Quickstream Node are using systemd as init program. That means that Quickstream Node service is managed by systemd tool systemctl. You can still use legacy SysV style tool service. Quickstream Node is systemd service unit called quickstream-node.service.

Superuser permissions required

All commands must be run as a superuser (usually root). You can run a command as superuser if you log on into superuser account or run them using sudo. You can skip sudo in all commands if you are logged as superuser.

To check service status type:

systemctl status quickstream-node.service

sudo systemctl start quickstream-node.service

Stopping service

sudo systemctl stop quickstream-node.service

Disabling service

sudo systemctl disable quickstream-node.service

Enabling service

Windows

Administrator permissions required

You need Administrator permissions to install Quickstream Node. In non Active Directory environment, your user needs to be member of Administrator groups. In Active Directory environment you need at least Local Administrator permissions.
