# Starting and Stopping the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console

To access the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console from a client browser, the `dbconsole` process needs to be running on the server. The dbconsole process is automatically started after installation.

However, in the event of a system restart, you can start it manually at the command line or start it as a service in Windows.

To start the `dbconsole` process from the command line:

1. Navigate into your `ORACLE_HOME/bin` directory.

2. Run the following statement:

       ./emctl start dbconsole

Additionally, you can stop the process and view its status.

To stop the `dbconsole` process:

    ./emctl stop dbconsole

To view the status of the `dbconsole` process:

    ./emctl status dbconsole

## Starting dbconsole in Windows

In Windows, in addition to using the command line, you can start the `dbconsole` process as a service.

To start `dbconsole` as a service:

1. From the main menu, click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. The Services page appears.

2. Oracle services begin with `Oracle`. The `dbconsole` service is listed as `OracleDBConsole` `ORACLE_SID`, where `ORACLE_SID` is your SID. The status of this process is listed in the Status column, either Started or Stopped.

   Double click the service. The property page appears.

3. In the properties page, ensure that the Startup Type is either Manual or Automatic and not Disabled. Click Start, if the process is not already started. Click OK.

You can also use the Services page to stop the process.
