If the server needs to be started or stopped manually on AIX platforms, use the System Resource Controller (SRC) of the operating system.

To start Tectia Server, enter command:

startsrc -s ssh-tectia-server

To stop Tectia Server, enter command:

stopsrc -s ssh-tectia-server

On AIX, using startsrc starts two ssh-server-g3 processes. One process is so-called service launcher that interfaces with the SRC and the actual SSH server process. By using a separate service launcher, the SRC is able to start a new server process in the case that old server process has been stopped but it is still serving open connections.

You can also use ssh-server-ctl (Tectia Server control utility) to start and stop the server, but it will actually call the AIX system resource controller.

To start Tectia Server with the control utility, enter:

ssh-server-ctl start

To stop Tectia Server with the control utility, enter:

ssh-server-ctl stop
