Linux

You can start and stop the CLC Server service from the command line. You can also configure the service to start up automatically after the server machine is rebooted.

During installation of the CLC Server a service script is placed in /etc/init.d/.

This script will have a name reflecting the server solution, and it includes the name of the custom user account specified during installation for running the CLC Server process.

Remember to replace CLCServer, in the commands listed below, with the name from the following list, corresponding to your server solution:

  • CLC Genomics Server: CLCGenomicsServer
  • CLC Drug Discovery Server: CLCDrugDiscoveryServer
  • CLC Cancer Research Server solution: CLCGenomicsServer
  • CLC Science Server: CLCScienceServer

Starting and stopping the service using the command line:

To start the CLC Server:

sudo service CLCServer start

To stop the CLC Server:

sudo service CLCServer stop

To restart the CLC Server:

sudo service CLCServer restart

To view the status of the CLC Server:

sudo service CLCServer status

Start service on boot up:

On Red Hat Enteprise Linux and SuSE this can be done using the command:

sudo chkconfig CLCServer on

How to configure a service to automatically start on reboot depends on the specific Linux distribution. Please refer to your system documentation for further details.

Troubleshooting

If the CLC Server is run as a service as suggested above, then the files in the installation area of the software and the data files created after installation in CLC Server File Locations will be owned by the user specified to run the CLC Server process. If someone starts up the CLC Server process as root (i.e. an account with super-user privileges) then the following steps are recommended to rectify the situation:

  1. Stop the CLC Server process using the script located within the installation area of the CLC Server software. You can do that using the full path to this script, or by navigating to the installation area and running:

    sudo ./CLCServer stop

  2. Change ownership recursively on all files in the installation area of the software and on all areas specified as Server File Locations.

  3. Start the CLC Server service as the specified user by using the service script:

    sudo service CLCServer start
