Starting, stopping, and restarting the service
You can start, stop, and restart the Interceptor service in the Administration > Maintenance: Services page. You can also use this page to reset the service alarm after it has been triggered.
The Interceptor service is a daemon that executes in the background, performing operations when required.
Many of the Interceptor service commands are initiated at startup. After you make changes to your configuration, you must restart the Interceptor service.
Restarting the SteelHead Interceptor service disrupts existing network connections that are proxied through the SteelHead Interceptor.
Stopping the SteelHead Interceptor service is not persistent across restarts or reboots of the SteelHead Interceptor. When you stop the SteelHead Interceptor service, all configured in-path IP addresses and ports are disabled, which causes optimization of SteelHead traffic to stop. However, the SteelHead Interceptor service automatically restarts—and optimization of SteelHead traffic resumes—when you restart or reboot the SteelHead Interceptor.
To start, stop, or restart services
1. Choose Administration > Maintenance: Services to display the Services page.
2. Under Service, click Stop, Start, or Restart.
