In Linux

Depending on the init system of the Linux distribution and version used, different startup scripts are available.

On Linux, the webpdf.sh shell script is available for SysVinit and the webpdf.service file is available for Systemd.

When installing the DEB or RPM package, the init system is detected and the correct start script is automatically installed on the system.

SysVinit

The usual start parameters, such as Start, Stop, Restart, and Status, are available. The script can be executed manually or used as a daemon script.

Start example:

/etc/init.d/webpdf start

During installation, the start script is linked automatically to /etc/init.d.

Depending on the Linux distribution, this means that webPDF can be set up to run at system startup and that the precise moment when it starts can be changed.

Systemd

The webPDF server is managed with the systemctl command. When installing the package, the webpdf.service service will be automatically registered and started in the system with webpdf as the corresponding name.

You can use

systemctl status webpdf

to check the current status. You can use the start and stop commands to start and stop the service respectively.
