system-config-services − Service Configuration Utility
system-config-services
This is a graphical tool for enabling and disabling services (including xinetd services). Functionality to start, stop, and restart services is also included.
None
/usr/bin/system-config-services
/usr/share/serviceconf/*
To run this program simply type:
system-config-services
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.
chkconfig(8) ntsysv(8)
− Some services will not start or stop properly if started anywhere but the console (system-config-services will appear to hang in these instances). This is not a bug in system-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.
