inSync Services on Linux

This following table contains the list of inSync Services when the inSync Master, inSync Storage Node, inSync client, or inSync Edge Server is installed on a Linux server.

Service Name Associated with Description
inSyncMasterAll inSync Master Manages all inSync services on the inSync Master

Start and Stop inSync services

On Windows operating system, use the Services administrative tool to start and stop the required inSync service.

On Linux operating system, run the following command on the Terminal to start or stop the service:

/etc/init.d/[service] [start|stop]

For example, if you want to start the inSyncCloudSrv service, run the following command on the Terminal:

/etc/init.d/inSyncCloudSrv start

Similarly, if you want to stop the inSyncCPortal service, run the following command on the Terminal:

/etc/init.d/inSyncCPortal stop
Note: Stopping inSync services pauses all backup, restore, and sync operations.

Notes

  • The inSyncMonitorMasterSvc service acts like a "watchdog" for master server installed on Linux (Ubuntu and RHEL). It ensures that inSyncCloudSrv and inSyncCPortal services are always running. The inSyncMonitorMasterSvc checks the status of inSyncCloudSrv and inSyncCPortal every minute. If either one of these services is not running, inSyncMonitorMasterSvc starts the service and writes an entry to syslog (Ubuntu) or the messages (RHEL) file.
  • The inSyncMonitorStorageSvc service acts like a "watchdog" for storage nodes installed on Linux (Ubuntu and RHEL). It ensures that inSyncStorageSrv is always running. The inSyncMonitorStorageSvc runs a check on inSyncStorageSrv every minute. If this service is not running, inSyncmonitorSvc starts the service and writes an entry to syslog (Ubuntu) or the messages (RHEL) file.
  • If you stop inSyncCloudSrv or inSyncCPortal manually, inSyncMonitorMasterSvc cannot start the service. You must start the service manually.
  • If you stop the inSyncStorageSrv manually, inSyncMonitorStorageSvc cannot start the service. You must start the service manually.
