When you install Netdata, it's configured to start at boot, and stop and restart/shutdown. You shouldn't need to start
or stop Netdata manually, but you will probably need to restart Netdata at some point.
-- To **start** Netdata, open a terminal and run `service netdata start`.
-- To **stop** Netdata, run `service netdata stop`.
-- To **restart** Netdata, run `service netdata restart`.
+- To **start** Netdata, open a terminal and run `sudo systemctl start netdata`.
+- To **stop** Netdata, run `sudo systemctl stop netdata`.
+- To **restart** Netdata, run `sudo systemctl restart netdata`.
-The `service` command is a wrapper script that tries to use your system's preferred method of starting or stopping
-Netdata based on your system. But, if either of those commands fails, try using the equivalent commands for `systemd`
-and `init.d`:
-
-- **systemd**: `systemctl start netdata`, `systemctl stop netdata`, `systemctl restart netdata`
-- **init.d**: `/etc/init.d/netdata start`, `/etc/init.d/netdata stop`, `/etc/init.d/netdata restart`
+See our doc on [starting, stopping, and restarting](/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) the Netdata Agent for
+details.
