Restart AFP service in High Sierra

Question
I would like to restart the AFP service but I'm not sure how to do it anymore. In previous versions of OS X I would run serveradmin stop afp
and serveradmin start afp
, but serveradmin
is no longer available in High Sierra.
Solution
serveradmin is still available in macOS High Sierra. Server.app has to be installed though and launched at least once to start its set-up.
host:~ $user: which serveradmin
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin
host:~ $user: sudo serveradmin fullstatus afp
afp:state = "STOPPED"
afp:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
afp:logging = "NO"
afp:servicePortsRestrictionInfo = _empty_array
afp:startedTime = ""
afp:guestAccess = "NO"
afp:logPaths:errorLog = "/Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceError.log"
afp:logPaths:accessLog = "/Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceAccess.log"
afp:failoverState = "NIFailoverNotConfigured"
afp:servicePortsAreRestricted = "NO"
afp:setStateVersion = 2
afp:currentConnections = 0
AFP won't work with shared APFS volumes!
OTHER TIPS
System Preferences -> Sharing would allow you to turn off all file sharing, then turn it on again.
