NAME
       system-config-services - Service Configuration Utility

SYNTAX
       system-config-services

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

OPTIONS
       None

FILES
       /usr/bin/system-config-services
       /usr/share/serviceconf/*

EXAMPLES
       To run this program simply type:

       system-config-services


LIMITATIONS
       This  utility currently execs chkconfig --add/--del <servicename> 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 (system-config-services will appear to hang  in	these
       instances).  This  is  not a bug in system-config-services, 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.
