Title: Starting/Stopping services
Post by: Philippe Palmarini on July 03, 2003, 08:08:22 PM

Hi guys ,

New with this e-smith stuff. But installed without problem, (beside Isa Nic Card)

How can i stop or restart a service not needed like qmail, lpr, http
beside the KILL command.

Thrue the server-manager (No option seen)
Thrue the console (No option seen)
Thrue the Doc (Nothing seen)

Thanks

Phil

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.  :)

Was going to include this, but hit sent before including.  Have a look at this contrib.  It gives you a server manager panel to disable/enable services:

Hi there,

Anyone got a working link to this contrib?

I have it installed on my own server, but can’t find it on www.contribs.org – have searched all morning, with NO results.

Please help.

not too sure if this is the contrib mentioned but the service manager contrib can be found here http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/star/mitel/contrib/e-smith-service-control/5.5/e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-06.noarch.rpm

The Sme6admin contrib also has a simple way of stopping unwanted services. Plus it has some interesting monitoring features with graphing.

It can be found here:
