Hello,

I have two problems:

1. The service command does not work on my system! I mean when I enter:
service ... start
I get: bash: service: command not found

2. I want to launch my vsftpd server. I tried to launch it using service command and you see that it didn't work!

Please help me with that.

If you do a whereis service, the reply comes

service: /sbin/service

Now you can go about the service command 2 ways:
1. At the prompt you can give
/sbin/service httpd start
for starting the httpd service.

else

2. /sbin should be present in your PATH. Add that to your .bashrc and next time you login , you can just say service httpd start.

Try your vsftpd command using either of the above.
