Starting the Amazon DCV Server

By default, the Amazon DCV server starts whenever the server that it's hosted on starts up. If you chose to disable automatic startup when you installed the Amazon DCV server, you must start the server manually or set up automatic startup again. To do either option, follow one of these procedures.
