The service command lets you run a System V init script. In this tutorial, we will briefly discuss this tool using some easy to understand examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Linux service command<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the available syntax for the service command in Linux:<\/p>\n\n\n\n service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n service –status-all<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n service –help | -h | –version<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And here\u2019s how the man page explains it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n service runs a System V init script or systemd unit in as predictable an environment as possible, The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in \/etc\/init.d\/SCRIPT, or the name All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND service –status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

Let\u2019s talk about how you can use this utility when it comes to handling scripts like httpd and sshd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how you run a script using service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n service httpd start<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how you stop an already running script using service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n service sshd stop<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how you fetch status for a script:<\/p>\n\n\n\n service httpd status<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how you restart and already-running service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n service sshd restart<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on your privileges as Linux user, you may want to run all the above examples using the \u2018sudo\u2019 command.
