Hi, since I’m a system manager more than an expert of Suse Manager 🙂 I would like to know the right sequence to stop all the stack of the services that susemanager is built on. Thanks a lot for any information!!! Pierpa ---

Hi, reading docs, I’ve found stop: spacewalk-services stop/start systemctl stop/start postgresql After those commands, filesystems related to suse manager are “fuser -m” free … therefore I think that this is enough. Can someone please configm ?? Regards Pierpa ---

@“Pier Paolo” Hi, the stopping of the spacewalk service should be enough, which is all that is normally done when there is a schema update, so you need the database running. If not then I don’t see any reason why you can’t stop the database as well.
