Starting and stopping product services

During the installation of BMC Release Process Management (BRPM), the TorqueBox server and the PostgreSQL database server (if installed) are registered as system services, provided that you installed BRPM with administrator or root privileges. You can start or stop these services at any time.

If you installed BRPM without administrator or root privileges, you can use scripts to start or stop the TorqueBox server and the PostgreSQL database server.

Starting or stopping registered product services

The following services are registered during the installation of BRPM, provided that you installed the product with administrator or root privileges:

  • BMC Release Process Management
  • PostgreSQL

On Windows, you can start and stop the following services through the Services management console (services.msc).

On Linux or UNIX, use the following commands to start or stop the product services:
