SERVICE(8)		    System Manager's Manual		    SERVICE(8)

NAME
       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS
       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION
       service	runs  a System V init script or systemd unit in as predictable
       an environment as possible, removing  most  environment	variables  and
       with the current working directory set to /.

       The  SCRIPT  parameter  specifies  a  System  V init script, located in
       /etc/init.d/SCRIPT, or the name of a systemd unit. The existence	 of  a
       systemd unit of the same name as a script in /etc/init.d will cause the
       unit to take precedence over the init.d script.	The  supported	values
       of  COMMAND  depend  on the invoked script. service passes COMMAND  and
       OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. For systemd units, start,	 stop,
       status, and reload are passed through to their systemctl/initctl equiv‐
       alents.

       All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands.	 As  a
       special	case,  if  COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice,
       first with the stop command, then with the start command.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with
       the status command. The status is [ + ] for running services, [ - ] for
       stopped services and [ ? ] for services without a status command.  This
       option only calls status for sysvinit jobs.

EXIT CODES
       service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
