# The ArcMC Daemon (`arcmcd`)

arcmcd is available only for the software form factor of ArcMC.

The `arcmcd` utility enables a number of management and control tasks for the ArcMC software process, including starting, stopping and restarting. The syntax to run `arcmcd` is as follows:

    <install_dir>/current/arcsight/arcmc/bin/arcmcd <command>

Where `<install_dir>` is the installation directory of ArcMC, and `<command>` is a command listed below.

If ArcMC is installed to run as a system service, you can use `arcmcd` to manage a specific process.
