Starting and Stopping Zoom Services (Linux)

For information on how to start and stop services for a Windows Server, see Starting and Stopping Zoom Services (Windows) .

Zoom has various services for its MAM, Preview, Curator, and HADR Servers. You may use one or more of these on the servers for Zoom. If multiple services are running on a server then it is recommended to follow an order while starting, restarting, or stopping them.

The recommended order to start/restart services is:

  1. Zoom HADR Service – for Zoom NonStop Servers
  2. Zoom Services – for Zoom MAM Server and Zoom NonStop Servers
  3. Zoom Preview Service – for Preview Server, Transcoder, Ingest Server
  4. Zoom Curator Service – for Curator Server

Stop the services in the reverse order.
