The Service Manager deployment include startup and shutdown scripts (startSM.sh and stopSM.sh) for starting and stopping the deployment locally from the command line.

If you selected to run the Service Manager as a system daemon, then these script files will not be in this location. Instead, the bin directory would contain the file, oggInst.loc, which is used to register the Service Manager as a daemon.

```
./stopSM.sh
```
Run the folloiwng command, to start or restart the Service Manager:
