service

linux

Manage services by running init scripts. The full script path should be omitted (`/etc/init.d/` is assumed).

Examples (4)

List the name and status of all services

service --status-all

Start/Stop/Restart/Reload service (start/stop should always be available)

service service_name start|stop|restart|reload

Do a full restart (runs script twice with start and stop)

service service_name --full-restart

Show the current status of a service

service service_name status
