### Command

```bash
/home/xtreamai/cli/start
```

### Description

This command starts all background processes required by Xtream AI to operate correctly. These include core services responsible for handling:

- Channel stream processing
- VOD serving
- Load balancing routines
- User connections and authentications

You should run this command:

- After powering on your main server
- After stopping Xtream AI with the `stop` command
- If no services are running and users are unable to connect

Once executed, Xtream AI will begin loading all configured services and bring the system online, allowing end-users and resellers to resume access.
