NAME
        serviceconf - Service Configuration Utility
 
 SYNTAX
        serviceconf
 
DESCRIPTION
        This  is  a graphical tool for enabling and disabling ser­
        vices (including xinetd services). Functionality to start,
        stop, and restart services is also included.
 
OPTIONS
        None
 
FILES
        /usr/bin/serviceconf
        /usr/share/serviceconf/*
 
 EXAMPLES
        To run this program simply type:
 
        serviceconf
 
 
 LIMITATIONS
        This utility currently execs chkconfig --add/--del <servi­
        cename> when enabling and disabling services.  This  means
        that  it  does  not  have  the  same  default behaviour as
        ntsysv.
 
 
SEE ALSO
        chkconfig(8) ntsysv(8)
 
 
 BUGS
        - Some services will not start or stop properly if started
        anywhere  but the console (serviceconf will appear to hang
        in these instances). This is not a bug in serviceconf, but
        in the individual services.
 
        -  Some services are incredibly hard to detect if they are
        running  or  not.  Starting,   stopping   and   restarting
        initscripts  may  give  mixed results (ie. may fail if you
        are stopping a service that's already stopped, etc).  This
        will be fixed; until then it's a bug.
