Hello,  
I am trying ThinLink server on a Redhat 9 server. I have installed it manually with the rpm.  
Is there a way to start/stop the server? I did’nt see it have a service in the systemctl.

Thanks.

Hello royzo!

There is absolutely a way to restart the server! The Thinlinc server runs several services which are the following:

```auto
vsmserver.service
vsmagent.service
tlwebadm.service
tlwebaccess.service

```

To stop them all you could run the following command:

```auto
sudo systemctl stop vsmserver.service vsmagent.service tlwebadm.service tlwebaccess.service

```

These two services run the Thinlinc server the “Master” and the “Agent”:

```auto
vsmserver.service
vsmagent.service

```

And this service run Thinlinc the web client:

```auto
tlwebaccess.service

```

Read more about them here:

The last service runs the web administration interface:

```auto
tlwebadm.service

```

Information about this service can be found here:

Note that you are also required to run ThinLinc setup (`/opt/thinlinc/sbin/tl-setup`) after installing the server package. Otherwise, the services won’t start.
