How to start & stop a Checkmk site?

 A site can be started or stopped. The start type is automatic, which means that a started site is also restarted after a reboot of the computer. 

1. Check the status of all of the individual processes that are necessary to operate the site. You can easily check this with the command omd status.

OMD[mysite]:~$ omd status
mkeventd:       stopped
liveproxyd:     stopped
mknotifyd:      stopped
rrdcached:      stopped
cmc:            stopped
apache:         stopped
dcd:            stopped
redis:          stopped
crontab:        stopped
-----------------------
Overall state:  stopped

2. Start the site with omd start.

OMD[mysite]:~$ omd start
Creating temporary filesystem /omd/sites/mysite/tmp...OK
Starting mkeventd...OK
Starting liveproxyd...OK
Starting mknotifyd...OK
Starting rrdcached...OK
Starting cmc...OK
Starting apache...OK
Starting dcd...OK
Starting redis...OK
Initializing Crontab...OK

3. Check the site status again. It should show  all services as running:

OMD[mysite]:~$ omd status
mkeventd:       running
liveproxyd:     running
mknotifyd:      running
rrdcached:      running
cmc:            running
apache:         running
dcd:            running
redis:          running
crontab:        running
-----------------------
Overall state:  running
