tofupilot service

Last updated on May 21, 2026

The service command manages the running station daemon (systemd on Linux, launchd on macOS), which is what tofupilot install puts under supervision.

start

The start subcommand runs the daemon in the foreground, and systemd and launchd use it as the ExecStart target. You rarely call it by hand.

service start
tofupilot service start

stop

The stop subcommand stops the running daemon.

service stop
tofupilot service stop

status

The status subcommand shows daemon status, including running state, port, and log location.

service status
