Restart services

If you need to restart a service, you can not restart the service using the Torrent Suite™ Software. The easiest approach is to shut down and restart the Ion Torrent™ Server.

After shutting down and restarting the server, all services that were running before shutting down continue from the point where they were interrupted, and no more user interaction is needed.

IMPORTANT! Before restarting the Ion Torrent™ Server, make sure that no Ion PGM™ Sequencer or Ion Proton™ Sequencer is uploading data to the server, otherwise the file transfer is interrupted.

  1. Shut down and restart the Ion Torrent™ Server.
  2. (Optional) Restart the services using the scripts located in the /etc/init.d directory. For example, use the following command to restart the Crawler: 
    user@svr:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/ionCrawler restart Stopping crawler Starting crawler pid = 26025
  3. Verify that the services are running using the ps ax | grep py command or the Torrent Suite™ Software user interface.

    If the services do not continue to run after being restarted, contact your local Field Service Engineer for assistance.
