I tried this `ps -ef | grep kibana` and find the process but even though i killed by using `kill -9 `but still it is running in different pid's.
```
admin@kibana:/var/log$ ps -ef | grep kibana
root 41202 1 0 04:52 ? 00:00:06 /opt/kibana/bin/../node/bin/node /opt/kibana/bin/../src/cli
root 50196 1 0 05:26 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -e -c /opt/kibana/bin/kibana /bin/sh
root 50197 50196 61 05:26 ? 00:00:00 /opt/kibana/bin/../node/bin/node /opt/kibana/bin/../src/cli
admin 50206 46555 0 05:26 pts/7 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kibana
admin@kibana:/var/log$ ps -ef | grep 5806
admin 50292 46555 0 05:26 pts/7 00:00:00 grep --color=auto 5806
```
When i see in logs it is showing error like this
`{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-04-21T05:20:47Z","tags":["fatal"],"pid":48717,"level":"fatal","message":"listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:5806","error":{"message":"listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:5806","name":"Error","stack":"Error: listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:5806\n at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:873:11)\n at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:896:20)\n at Server._listen2 (net.js:1250:14)\n at listen (net.js:1286:10)\n at net.js:1395:9\n at nextTickCallbackWith3Args (node.js:453:9)\n at process._tickDomainCallback (node.js:400:17)","code":"EADDRINUSE"}}`
Thanks

Hey @Yaswanth, how did you install Kibana? If you installed it using a deb/rpm, and you're running it via sysvinit/systemd/upstart, it will automatically restart the process when you stop it.

Thanks @Brandon_Kobel
It was installed through debian but i dont know via on which it is running on [quote="Brandon\_Kobel, post:2, topic:83063"]
it will automatically restart the process when you stop it

Then how can i restart kibana, suppose if i updated anything in kibana.yml file like passwords etc.

@Yaswanth if you type `service kibana status` do you see that it's running? If it is running, you can stop it using `service kibana stop`. Likewise, you can restart it by doing `service kibana restart`.

Thanks
When i tried `service kibana stop` it is showing that process is running in some pid number . And when i tried `service kibana restart` it is showing the process is already running.
May be this stop and restart will work internally , means if i do [quote="Brandon\_Kobel, post:4, topic:83063"]
service kibana stop
[/quote]
if stops and automatically starts.
And if i do [quote="Brandon\_Kobel, post:4, topic:83063"]
service kibana restart
[/quote]
it restarts internally and shows it is already running
Whether my interpretation is correct?
Because in ES i am able to see the status that the process is stopped and started but here i cant able to see that .
Thanks

@Yaswanth, would you mind posting the output that you get when running `service kibana status` and then `service kibana stop`?
