Linux Services

Blueworx supports services and the systemctl command. Each Blueworx component has its own service and can be controlled directly.

The services are:

blueworx-brm
blueworx-bvr
blueworx-bam
blueworx-bsm

Starting

To start a Blueworx component the following command is used:

systemctl start SERVICENAME

where SERVICENAME is one of the Blueworx services.

For example to start BRM:

systemctl start blueworx-brm

Stopping

To stop a Blueworx component the following command is used:

systemctl stop SERVICENAME

where SERVICENAME is one of the Blueworx services.

For example to stop BRM:

systemctl stop blueworx-brm

Monitoring

To check the status of the Blueworx components the following command is used:

systemctl | grep blueworx

To view a specific Blueworx component the following command is used:

systemctl status SERVICENAME

where SERVICENAME is one of the Blueworx services.

To view startup information the following command is used:

journalctl -xe

Note: Startup issues can be examined using the journalctl command and also the Blueworx component logs (eg bvr.out etc)

Note: systemctl can not track changes made using the Blueworx commands. For example if BVR is started with bvr -s then systemctl status blueworx-bvr will NOT show BVR started
