To start the server process on Linux/Unix platforms, run the visual executable with mep55server.im as an argument, followed by any other desired parameters and & to run in the background.

To stop a running server, send it SIGHUP. In a shell, use “ps ax” to get the process ID, then send “kill -HUP processID”. This will forcibly log any users out, causing them to lose uncommitted changes, and stop the repository.
