# Enabling/Disabling ArcMC as a System Service

If ArcMC is installed to run as a system service, you can use `arcmcd` to manage processes. For more information, see The ArcMC Daemon (arcmcd) .

To enable or disable ArcMC as a system service:

1. On the menu bar, click Administration > System Admin.

2. In the navigation bar, click Startup Settings.

3. Under Software Startup Options, select Start as a Service to enable starting as a system service, or select Do not start as a service to disable.

4. Click Save.

Note: After enablement, you can reboot (which will automatically restart the service) or start the service manually without a reboot.
