What’s the recommended way to enable / disable services?
Are there any other command to start stop restart service in ubuntu other than the below following.
service --status-allservice <service name> stop sudosysv-rc-confIt depends largely on the service. The new and preferred way to stop start and restart services is through /etc/init.d. So, for example, to stop or start the Apache Webserver, you can run
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
The same is true of many other services, but probably not all. You can use the utility sysv-rc-conf to see which services you have that use an init.d script and manage them that way as well. Run it with sudo sysv-rc-conf.
If you're looking for a GUI application, try Boot up Manager. Install with
apt-get install bum
and run from the UI or from a terminal with
sudo bum
Usage and documentation can be found here.
