# Available Command Line Tools
## 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.
* start - start one or more services listed on the command line.
* stop - stop one or more services listed on the command line.
* status - display status of all services or the ones specified
on the command line.
## 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.
