LEARN ABOUT REDHAT
redhat-config-services
serviceconf(8) System Manager's Manual serviceconf(8)
NAME
redhat-config-services - Service Configuration Utility
SYNTAX
redhat-config-services
DESCRIPTION
This is a graphical tool for enabling and disabling services (including xinetd services). Functionality to start, stop, and restart ser-
vices is also included.
OPTIONS
None
FILES
/usr/bin/redhat-config-services
/usr/share/serviceconf/*
EXAMPLES
To run this program simply type:
redhat-config-services
LIMITATIONS
This utility currently execs chkconfig --add/--del <servicename> when enabling and disabling services. This means that it does not have the
same default behaviour as ntsysv.
SEE ALSO
chkconfig(8) ntsysv(8)
BUGS
- Some services will not start or stop properly if started anywhere but the console (redhat-config-services will appear to hang in these
instances). This is not a bug in redhat-config-services, but in the individual services.
- Some services are incredibly hard to detect if they are running or not. Starting, stopping and restarting initscripts may give mixed
results (ie. may fail if you are stopping a service that's already stopped, etc). This will be fixed; until then it's a bug.
