Using the Node Service
Using a node service is not required to run the node application, but it makes life much easier for a long-lived software like the node application is.
Commands
There are a few basic commands:
| Command | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Start | qclient node service start | Starts the node service if it is installed. |
| Stop | qclient node service stop | Stops the node service if it is running. |
| Enable | qclient node service enable | Enables the node service to start on boot. |
| Restart | qclient node service restart | Restarts the node service. |
