KNM system service status

Start

Runs the service (if stopped).

Reinitialize the service

Reinitialization of the service (de facto stopping and rerunning) — only when the service is already running.

Stop

Stops the service (if running).

Install as system service

Remove the KNM service

Removes the Kerio Network Monitor system service. The service can be removed only when the service exists in the system and is stopped.

Warning: If the Kerio Network Monitor Daemon is installed as the service in the operating system Windows NT/2000/XP, it is possible to start, stop and restart the service also using the system Control Panel Services.
