Start and stop the NSO daemon. |
{% hint style="warning" %} Applies to Local Install. {% endhint %}
The command ncs -h shows various options when starting NSO. By default, NSO starts in the background without an associated terminal. It is recommended to add NSO to the /etc/init scripts of the deployment hosts. For more information, see the ncs(1) in Manual Pages.
Whenever you start (or reload) the NSO daemon, it reads its configuration from ./ncs.conf or ${NCS_DIR}/etc/ncs/ncs.conf or from the file specified with the -c option. Parts of the configuration can also be placed in the ncs.conf.d directory that must be placed next to the actual ncs.conf file.
$ ncs
$ ncs --stop
