Starting and stopping product services
During the installation of BMC Release Process Management (RPM), the RPM server and the PostgreSQL database server (if installed) are registered as system services, provided that you installed RPM with administrator or root privileges. When installing BMC Release Lifecycle Management Requester UI (now called Release Process Management - Requester UI, 5.0.03.001 onward), the Apache server is registered as system service by default. You can start or stop these services at any time.
If you installed RPM or RLM Requester UI (now called RPM Requester UI, 5.0.03.001 onward) without administrator or root privileges, you can use scripts to start or stop the RPM, PostgreSQL database, and Apache servers.
Starting or stopping registered product services
The following services are registered during the installation of RPM and RLM Requester UI (now called RPM Requester UI, 5.0.03.001 onward), provided that you installed the product with administrator or root privileges:
- BMC Release Process Management
- BMC Release Lifecycle Management Requester UI
- 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:
