How you start and stop your JIRA application depends on whether you are running JIRA as a Service.
Windows
If you installed JIRA as a service, you can Start JIRA Server and Stop JIRA Server from the Windows Start menu.
You can't start or stop JIRA manually using the start-jira.bat and stop-jira.bat file.
If you didn't install JIRA as a service you'll need to start and stop JIRA manually.
- To start JIRA run
<installation-directory>\bin\start-jira.bat - To stop JIRA run
<installation-directory>\bin\stop-jira.bat
We recommend running JIRA with a dedicated user account. To do this, use use the runas command to execute start-jira.bat.
> runas /env /user:<DOMAIN>\<jira> start-jira.batWhere <DOMAIN> is your Windows domain or computer name and <jira> is the name of your dedicated user.
Linux
If you installed JIRA as a service, use one of the following commands to start or stop JIRA.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/jira start
$ sudo /etc/init.d/jira stop
You can't start or stop JIRA manually using the start-jira.sh and stop-jira.sh files.

$ su -u <user>
