Why Teamviewer keeps running in the background?

rated 0 times [ 89] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 57350 / 3 Years ago, sun, september 5, 2021, 7:58:27

After i installed TeamViewer 8 on Ubuntu 12.10, i noticed a running process under the name of 'teamviewerd', more specifically:

/opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/teamviewerd -f

/opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/wine/bin/wineserver

and it auto-reopens whenever i try to kill it and i wonder why this happens.

Thanks in advance.

Because that is the nature of teamviewer: it is build to respawn.

/opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/script/teamviewerd.sysv
is probably responsible for it.

To stop teamviewer use:

sudo teamviewer --daemon stop

It will show ...

initctl stop teamviewerd

teamviewerd stop/waiting

and it is gone ...

rinzwind@discworld:/opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/script$ ps -ef|grep teamviewer

rinzwind 12712 12428  0 18:11 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto teamviewer

Commands to manipulate the daemon:

teamviewer --daemon status        show current status of the TeamViewer daemon

teamviewer --daemon start         start TeamViewer daemon

teamviewer --daemon stop          stop  TeamViewer daemon

teamviewer --daemon restart       stop/start TeamViewer daemon

teamviewer --daemon disable       disable TeamViewer daemon - don't start daemon on system startup

teamviewer --daemon enable        enable TeamViewer daemon - start daemon on system startup (default)

Regarding comment:

$teamviewer --help
