service Command Examples

Manage services by running init scripts. The full script path should be omitted (/etc/init.d/ is assumed). More information: https://manned.org/service.

• List the name and status of all services:

service --status-all

• Start/Stop/Restart/Reload service (start/stop should always be available):

service {{service_name}} {{start|stop|restart|reload}}

• Do a full restart (runs script twice with start and stop):

service {{service_name}} --full-restart

• Show the current status of a service:

service {{service_name}} status
