serviceconf - Service Configuration Utility


SYNTAX

       serviceconf


DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a graphical tool for enabling and disabling ser­
       vices (including xinetd services). Functionality to start,
       stop, and restart services is also included.


OPTIONS

       None


FILES

       /usr/bin/serviceconf
       /usr/share/serviceconf/*


EXAMPLES

       To run this program simply type:

       serviceconf


LIMITATIONS

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


SEE ALSO

       chkconfig(8) ntsysv(8)


BUGS

       - Some services will not start or stop properly if started
       anywhere  but the console (serviceconf will appear to hang
       in these instances). This is not a bug in serviceconf, but
       in the individual services.

       -  Some services are incredibly hard to detect if they are
       running  or  not.  Starting,   stopping   and   restarting
       initscripts  may  give  mixed results (ie. may fail if you
       are stopping a service that's already stopped, etc).  This
       will be fixed; until then it's a bug.
