@ayushthe1, yes, that’s pretty close, however:

The port # should not be hardcoded, but taken from mesheryctl’s central config/struct.
Always capitalize Meshery.
Not system start, but system status is how you verify if Meshery is running.
Don’t say “Please”, even though it is polite, it’s inappropriate tone.
First suggest system check, which is what I was telling you previously, not system start
