   You will find the process is in /etc/rc.d/init.d as mbsed   
      
   You can therefore apply :   
      
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed status   
      
      
   E.g.,   
      
   [vince@Applewood ~]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed status   
   mbsed.service - SYSV: Starts and stops MBSE BBS.   
      Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed)   
      Active: active (exited) since Mon 2017-03-27 19:11:29 BST; 1 weeks 3 days   
      ago   
      
      
   Also you can use :   
      
   [vince@Applewood ~]$ sudo systemctl status mbsed.service   
      
   Which returns :   
      
     mbsed.service - SYSV: Starts and stops MBSE BBS.   
      Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed)   
      Active: active (exited) since Mon 2017-03-27 19:11:29 BST; 1 weeks 3 days

   Of course you can use start | stop in place of status.   
      
   depending on your set up of Mag v5 you might need the sudo prefix for the    
   first   
   method depending on user priviledges.   
      
   Also you might see a message about daemon-xxx (where xxx = another   
   name that I have forgotten).
