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 configure runlevels. By
default, only the current runlevel is configured. To configure a
different runlevel, specify one or more runlevels with the
--level option. For example, the command
ntsysv --level 345 configures runlevels 3,
4, and 5.
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. A * signifies
that a service is set to on. Pressing the [F1] key displays a short description of the
selected service.

Warning |
| |
Services managed by xinetd are
immediately affected by ntsysv. For all
other services, changes do not take effect immediately. 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.
