It all depends on the service. Some services are started/stoped with run level scripts while others with a utility called deamon tools. In general, you can start/stop/restart services by excuting one of the various shell scripts located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ . For example, to stop httpd you would execute the following from the console (while logged in as root):
[root@server root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
[root@server root]#

One thing to remember about SME is that it's designed so that you don't need to fiddle around under the hood (as you are wanting to do here). As such, the docs don't address such topics. In fact, Mitel recommends against such "fiddleing." Further, starting and stopping services in SME is no different from any other flavor of redhat. Therefore, you can read about it in a redhat doc.
