stop ResourceName
restart ResourceName
ensure ResourceName
  • refresh rescans resource manifests.
  • start starts a stopped resource.
  • stop stops it.
  • restart stops then starts it.
  • ensure starts it if stopped and restarts it if already running.

A manually successful ensure does not prove correct cold-boot start order. Always test a full server restart before production.
