4.1.1 M&C Server

The M&C server is run as a system service and is automatically started when the operating system comes up. Normally there is no need to change the command line parameters which are passed to the program by the the startup scripts. Most parameters of the M&C server may be configured by editing the vlc.propertis configuration file.

If the M&C server must be stopped or started explicitly, the follwing commands sould be used:

$ systemctl stop satnms

and

$ systemctl start satnms

respectively. To start or stop the M&C one must be logged in as 'root' on the machine hosting the M&C server.
