Plex is running but I cannot stop or start the service

TrueNAS Core 13

I set up a new jail with Plex after deleting an old jail with Plex.
I can access Plex through the browser, so I know it's running, but when I try and alter the service I get this message:

Code:

truenas% service plexmediaserver status
plexmediaserver does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/etc/ix.rc.d /usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable

plexmediaserver indeed does not exist in /etc/rc.d but I do not know why.

So, I already did

Code:

sysrc plexmediaserver_enable=YES

but I did it again for giggles and even though it went from YES->YES it worked.

Because you're not running that command in the jail where Plex is running.
