Starting the service

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I have found two different ways to start the engine in the documentation.

  1. cd /user/local/WowazaStreamingEngine/bin

./startup.sh

and

  1. sudo service WowzaStreamingEngineManager start

What is the difference between these two?

Sorry for such a basic question, I’m new here.

Hi.

  1. Starts the Wowza Streaming Engine as a console application and will only stay running as long as you are logged in and running your current session.

  2. Starts Wowza Streaming Engine as a service which will persist through logout/log in sessions, and may also allow Wowza Streaming Engine to

start automatically this way each time the Server is started / restarted.

But won’t the second command open only the Manager?
