# Pentaho Installation Wizard

When you ran the installation wizard on Linux, the Pentaho Server is deployed in an included Apache Tomcat application server. You can control the Tomcat server using the start and stop scripts that come with the Pentaho installation. This script is also used as an easy way to start and stop the Pentaho Server and the PostgreSQL repository. You can find this script at `/pentaho/ctlscript.sh`.

Here is a list of the script arguments and services you can use.

Arguments

* `start`
* `stop`
* `restart`
* `status`
* `help`

Services

* **pentahoserver**
* **postgressql**

```xml
./ctlscript.sh start pentahoserver
```

```xml
./ctlscript.sh status pentahoserver
```

```xml
./ctlscript.sh status postgresql
```

```xml
./ctlscript.sh help
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/configure-the-pentaho-server/start-and-stop-the-pentaho-server-for-configuration/starting-and-stopping-the-pentaho-server-on-linux/pentaho-installation-wizard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
