Service Management

The Server, Communicator and Agent applications run as services. On Linux, the Webstation application also runs as a separate service. To manage Rapid SCADA services, use the Administrator application or operating system tools.

Services are managed by the Administrator application using the Instance Status form, which is opened by the button located on the application toolbar.

The following table contains the names of the Windows services and Linux daemons that are included in Rapid SCADA.

On Windows, the services.msc snap-in is available to manage services. The startup type of the Server, Communicator and Agent services is set to Automatic by default, so the services start when the operating system starts and stop when it shuts down. If autostart is not required, set the Manual startup type in the properties of the corresponding services.

Commands to start daemons on Linux:

sudo systemctl start scadaagent6
sudo systemctl start scadaserver6
sudo systemctl start scadacomm6
sudo systemctl start scadaweb6

Commands to stop daemons on Linux:

sudo systemctl stop scadaweb6
sudo systemctl stop scadacomm6
sudo systemctl stop scadaserver6
sudo systemctl stop scadaagent6
