How you start and stop your Jira application depends on whether you are running Jira as a Service.
Windows
If you installed Jira as a service, you can Start Jira instance and Stop Jira instance from the Windows Start menu.
You can't start or stop Jira manually using the start-jira.bat and stop-jira.bat file.
If you didn't install Jira as a service you'll need to start and stop Jira manually.
- To start Jira run
<installation-directory>\bin\start-jira.bat - To stop Jira run
<installation-directory>\bin\stop-jira.bat
We recommend running Jira with a dedicated user account. To do this, use the runascommand to executestart-jira.bat.
> runas /env /user:<DOMAIN>\<jira> start-jira.batWhere<DOMAIN>is your Windows domain or computer name and <jira> is the name of your dedicated user.
Linux
If you installed Jira as a service, use one of the following commands to start or stop Jira.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/jira start$ sudo /etc/init.d/jira stopYou can't start or stop Jira manually using the start-jira.sh and stop-jira.sh files.
If you didn't install Jira as a service you'll need to start and stop Jira manually.
- To start Jira run
<installation-directory>\bin\start-jira.sh - To stop Jira run
<installation-directory>\bin\stop-jira.sh
We recommend running Jira with a dedicated user account:
$ su -u <user>$ ./start-jira.shWhere<user>is the name of your dedicated user.
If you're using Ubuntu the command is a little different:
$ sudo su <user>$ ./start-jira.sh
