How to Manage the Orchid Fusion VMS Services Through the Command Line

The following services are used by Orchid Fusion VMS in Linux. If you need to check the status, start, or stop the service, 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.

Tip

• 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 from the command line:

1. Open the Terminal program (CTRL+ALT+T).
2. Type the following command: sudo systemctl (command) fusion.service, where the command is start, stop, restart, 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 in the command line.
