I've got shiny installed and running on a RedHat AWS EC2 instance. However, it seems to be forever running, because typing stop shiny-server or start shiny-server results in the error: -bash: restart: command not found. I don't see this when I install shiny on a Ubuntu instance. Is there a way to fix this on RedHat?
You're probably using RedHat 7, so you should use systemd:
sudo systemctl start shiny-server
sudo systemctl stop shiny-server
sudo systemctl restart shiny-server
