To stop Entuity in Linux (or Windows under Administrative command line prompt)

To start Entuity in Windows:

The installation default is for Entuity to start as soon as Windows starts. However, you can also start Entuity via the Services functionality in the Control Panel. The 3 services are: Entuity, Entuity Database, Entuity Webserver

• Starting the Entuity service automatically starts the Entuity Database service and Entuity Webserver services. 
  Note, do not set these services to automatic, as doing so will break the installation.
• Once all three services have started, wait 5 minutes for the services to initialize, and then you can log in. Alternatively, check the log to confirm if Entuity has started by navigating to entuity_home/bin/ and running the starteye command. When you see the message Started EYE in state normal in entuity_home/log/systemcontrol.log, all of the core processes have started.

To start Entuity in Linux (or Windows under Administrative command line prompt):

1. Run the following command to start Entuity:
   • On Linux when Entuity is not configured as a service or Windows:
     • Navigate to entuity_home/bin/ and run the starteye command.
   • On Linux when Entuity is configured as a service:
     • systemctl start ena.service
2. When you see the message Started EYE in state normal in entuity_home/log/systemcontrol.log, all of the core processes have started. However, the tomcat process needs more time to initialize. Wait for 5 minutes to allow this initialization, and then you are ready to log in.

Note, If you start Entuity as a root user, then shut Entuity down, then configure as a non-root user, Entuity will not be able to start. This is because shared memory objects for view server are still owned by root.

To stop Entuity in Windows:

The installation default is for Entuity to automatically stop when Windows stops, but best practice is to explicitly stop Entuity and do not rely on Windows to close Entuity down.

1. Stop the Entuity service in the Control Panel. This will also stop the Entuity Database and Entuity Webserver services. Stopping the Entuity server stops all its processes.

To stop Entuity in Linux (or Windows under Administrative command line prompt):

1. Run the following command to stop Entuity:
   • On Linux when Entuity is not configured as a service or Windows:
     • Navigate to entuity_home/bin/ and run the stopeye command.
   • On Linux when Entuity is configured as a service:
     • systemctl stop ena.service
2. To confirm the system has completed shutdown, check for the message System stopped in entuity_home/log/systemcontrol.log. Stopping the Entuity server stops all its processes.
