The ntsysv utility provides a simple interface
for activating or deactivating services. You can use
ntsysv to turn an
xinetd-managed service on or off. You can also use
ntsysv to start or stop a service in the
/etc/rc.d hierarchy; in that case, the
ntsysv command (without options) is used to configure
current runlevel. If you want to configure a different runlevel, use
something like ntsysv --levels 016. (In this example,
you would be setting the services for runlevels 0, 1 and 6.)
The ntsysv interface works like the text mode
installation program. Use the up and down arrows to navigate up and down
the list. The space bar selects/unselects services and is also used to
"press" the Ok and Cancel
buttons. To move between the list of services and the
Ok and Cancel buttons, use the
[Tab] key. An * signifies that a
service is set to on. The [F1] key will pop up a short
description of each service.
 | Warning |
|---|
| | Changes do not take effect immediately after using
ntsysv. You must stop or start the
individual service with the command service
daemon stop. In the previous
example, replace daemon with the name of the
service you want to stop; for example, httpd.
Replace stop with start or
restart to start or restart the service. If you want
to start or stop a service which is managed by
xinetd, use the command service xinetd
restart.
