31 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
32 | .B service |
---|
33 | runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, |
---|
34 | removing most environment variables |
---|
35 | and with current working directory set to \fB/\fR. |
---|
36 | |
---|
37 | The |
---|
38 | .I SCRIPT |
---|
39 | parameter specifies a System V init script, |
---|
40 | located in \fB/etc/init.d/\fISCRIPT\fR. |
---|
41 | The supported values of |
---|
42 | .I COMMAND |
---|
43 | depend on the invoked script, |
---|
44 | .B service |
---|
45 | passes |
---|
46 | .I COMMAND |
---|
47 | and |
---|
48 | .I OPTIONS |
---|
49 | it to the init script unmodified. |
---|
50 | All scripts should support at least the |
---|
51 | .B start |
---|
52 | and |
---|
53 | .B stop |
---|
54 | commands. |
---|
55 | As a special case, if |
---|
56 | .I COMMAND |
---|
57 | is \fB\-\-full-restart\fR, the script is run twice, first with the |
---|
58 | .B stop |
---|
59 | command, then with the |
---|
60 | .B start |
---|
61 | command. |
---|
62 | |
---|
63 | .B service \-\-status\-all |
---|
64 | runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the |
---|
65 | .B status |
---|
66 | command. |
---|
