How to Start/Stop/Restart/status jenkins manually in cmd/terminal

The below commands worked for me in Red Hat Linux and should work for Ubuntu also.

To know the status of Jenkins:

sudo service jenkins status

To start the Jenkins:

sudo service jenkins start

To stop the Jenkins:

sudo service jenkins stop

To restart the Jenkins:

sudo service jenkins restart

Demo on command prompt:

[root@varunHome]# sudo service jenkins status
jenkins (pid  7468) is running...

[root@varunHome]# sudo service jenkins stop
Shutting down Jenkins               [  OK  ]

[root@varunHome]# sudo service jenkins start
Starting Jenkins                    [  OK  ]

[root@varunHome]# sudo service jenkins restart
Shutting down Jenkins               [  OK  ]

Starting Jenkins                    [  OK  ]
[root@varunHome]#
