TL;DR

service

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
