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.
