Hi

I’ve installed **AWX 4.0.0** using the instructions available here:

[https://github.com/MrMEEE/awx-build/blob/master/installguide.md](https://github.com/MrMEEE/awx-build/blob/master/installguide.md)

This uses **virtualenv** rather than **docker**.

I understand that I could restart related services ( **awx-cbreceiver** , **rh-postgresql10-postgresql** etc) individually but I’ve not been able to identify a built-in process to successfully restart everything together. I’ve seen some references to **ansible-tower-service** , which seems to be exactly what I’m looking for, but it contains a reference to **/etc/sysconfig/ansible-tower** , which doesn’t exist, and it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Regards  
Phil
