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 the svcinst location of the svcinst location of the Perforce filehost server to your Helix Server root directory before you issue the command:

C:\> svcinst stop -n "Perforce"
