Starting and stopping the Perforce service

If you install Helix Server as a service under Windows, the service starts whenever the machine boots.

Stopping the service with C:\> svcinst stop -n "Perforce"

Important

To stop the service, the Helix Server superuser issues the command:

C:\> svcinst stop -n "Perforce"

Warning

To avoid the risk of problems, do not attempt to stop the service in any other way.

Note

If you are using a 32-bit version of the Helix Server, you might need to download the svcinst.exe tool from ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/tools/svcinst/bin.ntx86 to your Helix Server root directory before you issue the command:

C:\> svcinst stop -n "Perforce"
