How to start and stop the application
After installing the Kaspersky application on a device, the application is started automatically. By default, the application then starts automatically when the operating system is booted (at the default level of execution for each operating system).
By default, when the Kaspersky application is started, the following functional components of the application are started automatically:
- File Threat Protection.
- Behavior Detection.
- Web Threat Protection - only if one of the supported browsers is installed on the operating system.
When you launch the application on your device, a service task is automatically launched to ensure that the application activation feature works.
By default, the application also starts user tasks configured on the command line, for which the "after application startup" run mode (PS run mode) is configured.
If you stop the application, all tasks running on the device will be interrupted. Interrupted user tasks are not resumed automatically after the application is restarted.
Starting, restarting, and stopping the Kaspersky application
To start the application, run the following command:
systemctl start kfl
To run the application, the root account must be the owner of the following directories and only the owner must have write access to them: /var, /var/opt, /var/opt/kaspersky, /var/log/kaspersky, /opt, /opt/kaspersky, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/lib64.
To stop the application, run the following command:

Monitoring the status of the Kaspersky application
The status of the Kaspersky application status is monitored by the watchdog service. The watchdog service is automatically launched when the application starts.
In the event of an application crash, a dump file is generated and the application is restarted automatically.
To export application settings, run the following command:
systemctl status kfl
