Working with Services
You can manually start and stop appliance services.
To view all appliance services and their statuses, login to the CLI Manager, navigate to Administration > Services.
Use caution before stopping or restarting a particular service. Make sure that no important actions are being performed by other users using the service that must be stopped or restarted.
In the Services dialog box, you can start, stop, or restart the following services:

You can change the status of any service when you select it from the list and choose Select. In the screen that follows the Service Management screen, select stop, start, or restart a service, as required.
When you apply any action on a particular service, the status message appears with the action applied. Press ENTER again to continue.
You can also use the Web UI to start or stop services. In the Web UI Services, you have additional options for stopping/starting services, such as Enable/Disable Auto-start for most of the services.
Important: Although the services can be started or stopped from the Web UI, the start/stop/restart action is restricted for some services. These services can be operated from the OS Console. Run the following command to start/stop/restart a service.
/etc/init.d/<service_name> stop/start/restart
For example, to start the docker service, run the following command.
/etc/init.d/docker start
