This allows the administrator to stop, start, or restart a Standalone Sentry service without having to reboot Standalone Sentry and prevents disruption to other services that are running.

Impact of stopping and restarting Ivanti Standalone Sentry services

Stopping or restarting tomcat2 will impact access to Ivanti Standalone Sentry system manager UI and CLI commands. The Ivanti Standalone Sentry system manager will not be available and you will be able to execute only a subset of the CLI commands.

Stopping or restarting tomcat or iptables services will impact Ivanti Standalone Sentry traffic till the service is back up and running.

After stopping a service through the CLI, restarting Standalone Sentry also restarts the service.
