System start depends on how the system has been installed. For bare-metal installations, the administrator installing the system is responsible for adding a system service that brings LeanXcale into operation when the machine starts, and stops LeanXcale before halting the system.

For AWS installations, starting the instance starts the LeanXcale service, and stopping the instance stops LeanXcale before the instance stops.

For Docker installations, starting a container starts the LeanXcale service on it, and, for safety, LeanXcale should be halted before halting the container (otherwise Docker might decide to time-out and stop the container before LeanXcale did fully stop).
