Stop, start, restart Plex Media Server on Ubuntu 14.04

The Goal

Now and again I have to manually stop, start or restart Plex Media Server (PMS) running on my Ubuntu 14.04 server. Due to it being done so infrequently (as Linux is very stable) I tend to forget the exact commands - quite embarrassing really as the name of the PMS service couldn't be any easier to remember. 

In any case, note to self, the commands are below.

The Commands


Stop PMS

sudo service plexmediaserver stop

Start PMS

sudo service plexmediaserver start

Restart PMS

sudo service plexmediaserver restart

I hope this post also helps others out there on the interwebs!
