## The service command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `service` utility can be used for control and administration of services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is composed of several sub commands run by issuing
|
|
|
|
|
`service <command> [arguments..]`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently available service commands are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* enable - enable a service with the given list of arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
* disable - disable a service. If the service is parameterized, requires the
|
|
|
|
|
same arguments used for enabling, to disable the specific instance of the
|
|
|
|
|
service.
|
|
|
|
|
* dumpscript - generate an equivalent shell script from the `exec` lines of
|
|
|
|
|
a service after applying all parameter substitutions.
|
|
|
|
|
* list - list all enabled service. A target can be specified to only list
|
|
|
|
|
services for the specified target.
|
|
|
|
|
* help - display a short help text and a list of available commands.

## shutdown and reboot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The programs `shudown` and `reboot` can be used to signal to the `init` program
|
|
|
|
|
that it should transition to the `shutdown` or `reboot` target respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The option `-f` or `--force` can be used to by pass the init system entirely
|
|
|
|
|
and force a hard reset or power off by directly signalling the kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running any one of those programs requires superuser privileges.
