Chapter 22. Subsystem Control And maintenance

This chapter provides information on how to control (start, stop, restart, and status check) a Red Hat Certificate System subsystem, as well as general maintenance (health check) recommendation.

22.1. Starting, Stopping, Restarting, and Obtaining Status

Red Hat Certificate System subsystem instances can be stopped and started using the systemctl utility on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Note

You can also use the pki-server alias to start and stop instances: pki-server <command> <instance> is an alias to systemctl <command> pki-tomcatd@<instance>.service..
To start an instance: 
# systemctl start unit_file@instance_name.service
# pki-server start instance_name
To stop an instance: 
# systemctl stop unit_file@instance_name.service
# pki-server stop instance_name
To restart an instance: 
# systemctl restart unit_file@instance_name.service
# pki-server restart instance_name
To display the status of an instance: 
# systemctl status unit_file@instance_name.service
unit_file has one of the following values:
  • pki-tomcat: With watchdog disabled
  • pki-tomcat-nuxwdog: With watchdog enabled
