This is covered in the starting and stopping Wowza section of the user guide.
To restart the service on linux it is either this:
> service WowzaStreamingEngine stop
> service WowzaStreamingEngine start
Or this:
/etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine stop
/etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine start
If you need to re-start the Manager, same as above with service name “WowzaStreamingEngineManager”
To reboot the server you can do:
> reboot
or:
> shutdown -r now
