# Relaunch Weston

To manually relaunch the Weston server after closing the Weston process, do the following:

<Note>
  You must enable SSH to connect to the target device. For instructions, see [Sign in using SSH](https://dragonwingdocs.qualcomm.com/Key-Documents/Flash-Guide/how-to-sign-in-with-ssh).
</Note>

1. To identify the ID of the Weston processes, run the following commands:

   > ```text theme={null}
   > mount -o remount,rw /
   > ```

   > ```text theme={null}
   > ps -A | grep weston
   > ```

   Sample output:

   ```text theme={null}
   824 ?        00:00:12 weston
   1090 ?        00:00:00 weston-keyboard
   1092 ?        00:00:01 weston-desktop-
   ```

   Note the Weston process IDs from the output to use in the next step.

2. To kill the Weston process, run the following command:

   <Note>You can skip the following command if the modetest application is already running.</Note>

   > ```text theme={null}
   > kill <PID>
   > ```

   Replace `<PID>` with the process IDs identified in the previous step. For example, based on the sample output: `kill 824 1090 1092`.

3. To relaunch the Weston server, run the following commands:

   > ```text theme={null}
   > mount -o remount,rw /
   > ```

   > ```text theme={null}
   > systemctl start weston.service
   > ```
