A number of PresSTORE backup servers also provide other services in the environments they are installed in. Therefore, restarting PresSTORE services without restarting the host that runs the PresSTORE services can be done via the command line so that you don’t have to restart the server that is doing backups.
To stop the PresSTORE server agent, use the stop-server command stored in /usr/local/aw:
sudo /usr/local/aw/stop-server
To the restart the server, use the start-server command, stored in the same location:
/usr/local/aw/start-server
The restart can also be done as a different user by invoking the -u operator followed by (and therefore defining) a user. The server occasionally stops itself for internal housecleaning, so this isn’t doing anything that isn’t already automated…
