NAME

6       system-config-services - Service Configuration Utility
7

SYNTAX

9       system-config-services
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This is a graphical tool for enabling and disabling services (including
13       xinetd services). Functionality to start, stop, and restart services is
14       also included.
15

OPTIONS

17       None
18

FILES

20       /usr/bin/system-config-services
21       /usr/share/serviceconf/*
22

EXAMPLES

24       To run this program simply type:
25
26       system-config-services
27

LIMITATIONS

29       This  utility  currently execs chkconfig --add/--del <servicename> when
30       enabling and disabling services. This means that it does not  have  the
31       same default behaviour as ntsysv.

BUGS

39       - Some services will not start or stop properly if started anywhere but
40       the console  (system-config-services  will  appear  to  hang  in  these
41       instances).  This  is  not  a bug in system-config-services, but in the
42       individual services.
43
44       - Some services are incredibly hard to detect if they  are  running  or
45       not.  Starting,  stopping  and  restarting  initscripts  may give mixed
46       results (ie. may fail if you are  stopping  a  service  that's  already
47       stopped, etc). This will be fixed; until then it's a bug.
