How to restart the server

i cannot for the life of me find a single shred of information on this :open_mouth:

how to simply restart the plex media server in linux os ??? why is this a big secret?
some fake “howtogeek” site command listed that doesn’t do anything…

Server Version#:
Player Version#:

Using the service command should do the trick just fine (e.g. on Ubuntu/Debian). Nothing specific about Plex, this is a basic OS procedure.

sudo service plexmediaserver start
sudo service plexmediaserver stop
sudo service plexmediaserver restart

using Manjaro which is Arch based and whatever command the service command is actually linking to, I dont have it or know the name of it

I’m not familiar with Arch based Linux distributions.
Google tells me, the commands are:

sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver
sudo systemctl stop plexmediaserver
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver

right. jeez … ubuntu tutorials need to cut it out with the falsification of things to dumb them down
that command works across the board in ALL distros
service does not
meh
only the beginning of my issues here

to be fair… if you’re not using Ubuntu you might want to use the guides/documentation the platform you’re using and not that of Ubuntu
