Stopping and starting NetWorker from CLI

As a command-line geek (I'm certainly not a GUI man) I always like to know how to work with the command line, even on Windows systems (I've blown away folks looking over my shoulder with my command-line skills); This page provides a one-stop quick guide to the commands needed to stop and start Legato NetWorker across various platforms.

This table below provides the stop/start commands for the NetWorker client (nsrexecd), the NetWorker server (nsrd), the management console (gstd) and the NetWorker License Manager (lgtolmd)

OS StopStart
Solaris client /etc/init.d/networker stop /etc/init.d/networker start
server /etc/init.d/networker stop /etc/init.d/networker start
gst /etc/init.d/gst stop /etc/init.d/gst start
lgtolmd (included in stopping server) (included as part of server start)

Windows

(command line)

client net stop nsrexecd net start nsrexecd
server net stop nsrexecd /y net start nsrd
gstd net start gstd
lgtolmd net start lgtolmd
Linux client /etc/init.d/networker stop /etc/init.d/networker start
server /etc/init.d/networker stop /etc/init.d/networker start
gst /etc/init.d/gst stop /etc/init.d/gst start
lgtolmd (included in stopping server) (included as part of server start)
MAC SystemStarter stop NetWorker SystemStarter start NetWorker
AIX /bin/nsr_shutdown /etc/rc.nsr start
HPUX /usr/opt/networker/bin/NSRstartstop stop /usr/opt/networker/bin/NSRstartstop start

NOTE: All of these options are documented in the Legato NetWorker Administration Guides
