Start/stop/restart ActiveGate

To start, stop or restart an ActiveGate you need to start, stop or restart the respective services for Linux or services for Windows that the ActiveGate is using—depending on the operating system on which the ActiveGate is installed. The actual services present also depend on the purpose for which the ActiveGate has been installed and on the functional modules that have been enabled.
