How to Manage the Orchid Fusion VMS Services in Red Hat

The following services are used by Orchid Fusion VMS in Red Hat. If you need to enable, check the status, start, or stop the services, you can do this from the command line.

• Fusion: This service supports the Orchid Fusion VMS server that manages registered Orchid Core VMS servers and provides access to video from those servers.
  • You will need to restart this service whenever a change has been made to the Orchid Fusion VMS configuration file.

• Fusion_Rclone: This service supports Fusion’s ability to export video files to an external cloud storage location, via the Rclone open-source library.
  • You will need to restart this service if you re-run the Rclone executable.

Tips

• In Red Hat, you have to enable both of the Orchid Fusion VMS services. This will allow the services to automatically start on bootup and restart in the case of failure.
• After you start the services, you should configure the firewall.
• After you’ve configured your Orchid Fusion VMS properties and started the service, you should check the service status to verify Orchid Fusion VMS is running.
  

To manage the Orchid Fusion VMS service:

1. Type the following command: sudo systemctl (command) fusion.service, where the command is enable, start, stop, or status. Then press Enter.

*The set of commands above will only manage the Fusion server service. If you need to manage the Fusion_Rclone service, replace fusion.service with fusion_rclone.service.
