1.5. Starting and Stopping a Directory Server Instance
1.5.1. Starting and Stopping a Directory Server Instance Using the Command Line
Use the
dsctl utility to start, stop, or restart an instance:
- To start the instance:
# dsctl instance_name start
- To stop the instance:
# dsctl instance_name stop
- To restart the instance:
# dsctl instance_name restart
Optionally, you can enable Directory Server instances to automatically start when the system boots:
- For a single instance:
# systemctl enable dirsrv@instance_name
- For all instances on a server:
# systemctl enable dirsrv.target
For further details, see the Managing System Services section in the Red Hat System Administrator's Guide.
1.5.2. Starting and Stopping a Directory Server Instance Using the Web Console
As an alternative to command line, you can use the web console to start, stop, or restart instances.

- Select the instance.
- Click the button and select the action to execute:
- Start Instance
