SYNOPSIS

system-config-services

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

None

FILES

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

EXAMPLES

system-config-services

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. While there are workarounds present to deal with these, it can't be guaranteed that they're detected properly. Please file bugs against the system-config-services component at http://bugzilla.redhat.com if you encounter such services.
