NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible,
removing most environment variables
and with current working directory set to /.
The
SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script,
located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.
The supported values of
COMMAND depend on the invoked script,
service passes
COMMAND and
OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified.
All scripts should support at least the
start and
stop commands.
As a special case, if
COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the
stop command, then with the
start command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the
status command.
