I have followed the instructions to install the NCPA listener via the repository for a system running Oracle Linux 8.8. The instructions state that I am to run the following command after configuring the token in the config. The command is not found

sudo /etc/init.d/ncpa_listener restart
sudo: /etc/init.d/ncpa_listener: command not found

I tried using systemctl but the service ncpa_listener is not found. Please advise how to restart this.

Hello @dancormack,

If you cannot find ncpa_listener, you are likely using NCPA 3. Is this the case?

NCPA 2 has two processes: ncpa_listener and ncpa_passive
NCPA 3 has one process: ncpa

So if you are trying to restart NCPA 3, you should instead use

Thank you! This has solved the issue. I guess the instructions need updating.

Hi @dancormack, glad to hear your issue is solved! I wasn't able to find anything on our public sites that still referred to just NCPA 2's management commands - if you have a moment, could you point us to where you found the outdated documentation?

Thanks,
