1. View the command help information.

    ```shell
    mindinsight --help
    ```

2. View the version information.

    ```shell
    mindinsight --version
    ```

3. Start the service.

    ```shell
    mindinsight start [-h] [--config <CONFIG>] [--workspace <WORKSPACE>]
                      [--port <PORT>] [--url-path-prefix <URL_PATH_PREFIX>]
                      [--reload-interval <RELOAD_INTERVAL>]
                      [--summary-base-dir <SUMMARY_BASE_DIR>]
    ```

    Optional parameters as follows:

    - `-h, --help` : Displays the help information about the startup command.
    - `--config <CONFIG>` : Specifies the configuration file or module. CONFIG indicates the physical file path (file:/path/to/config.py), or a module path (python:path.to.config.module) that can be identified by Python.
    - `--workspace <WORKSPACE>` : Specifies the working directory. The default value of WORKSPACE is $HOME/mindinsight.
    - `--port <PORT>` : Specifies the port number of the web visualization service. The value ranges from 1 to 65535. The default value of PORT is 8080.
    - `--url-path-prefix <URL_PATH_PREFIX>` : Specifies the path prefix of the web visualization service. The default value of URL_PATH_PREFIX is empty string.
    - `--reload-interval <RELOAD_INTERVAL>` : Specifies the interval (unit: second) for loading data. The value 0 indicates that data is loaded only once. The default value of RELOAD_INTERVAL is 3 seconds.
    - `--summary-base-dir <SUMMARY_BASE_DIR>` : Specifies the root directory for loading training log data. MindInsight traverses the direct subdirectories in this directory and searches for log files. If a direct subdirectory contains log files, it is identified as the log file directory. If a root directory contains log files, it is identified as the log file directory. SUMMARY_BASE_DIR is the current directory path by default.

    > When the service is started, the parameter values of the command line are saved as the environment variables of the process and start with `MINDINSIGHT_`, for example, `MINDINSIGHT_CONFIG`, `MINDINSIGHT_WORKSPACE`, and `MINDINSIGHT_PORT`.

4. View the service process information.

    MindInsight provides user with web services. Run the following command to view the running web service process:

    ```shell
    ps -ef | grep mindinsight
    ```

    Run the following command to access the working directory `WORKSPACE` corresponding to the service process based on the service process ID:

    ```shell
    lsof -p <PID> | grep access
    ```

    Output with the working directory `WORKSPACE` as follows:

    ```shell
    gunicorn  <PID>  <USER>  <FD>  <TYPE>  <DEVICE>  <SIZE/OFF>  <NODE>  <WORKSPACE>/log/gunicorn/access.log
    ```

5. Stop the service.

    ```shell
    mindinsight stop [-h] [--port PORT]
    ```

    Optional parameters as follows:

    - `-h, --help` : Displays the help information about the stop command.
    - `--port <PORT>` : Specifies the port number of the web visualization service. The value ranges from 1 to 65535. The default value of PORT is 8080.
