Add/Remove/Start/Stop services on CentOS

Fri Jun 25 14:36:10 MST 2010

I appreciate your help and all the help everyone has given me.  I spend most of my time programming and decided I wanted to be more involved in our servers so I can help ensure we are doing all we need to do.

Thanks again to everyone.

It's all good. I have been working with linux since the mid 90's and have been using it as at least on of my desktops since the late 90's. Further more I have been professionally administrating corporate servers since mid 2000's and even now I read some of the stuff on the list and go "What the heck are they talking about" And since there are a plethora of people to explain it why you ask it really make this is the best places to learn :)

Yes some of my knowledge dates back to about 1997 - RedHat 4?.  I played with Linux in the early 90's (Caldera,Mandrake,mostly Debian) and have done little with it until the last few years.

I have a Fedora Core 5 dev box I setup 3 years ago on a private IP. I do LAMP dev on it.  The other box is CentOS 5 that is a production server.

So yes I am learning and may not know some things (a lot of things).  That is why I posted all those questions.  You will not hurt my feelings in pointing out my flaws.  I want to get it right.  Thanks!

Not only that, he even has old information on service startup.  Depending on the age of his OS, it may not be using sysv scripts to startup, newer Ubuntu and Fedora systems use upstart.  So, on newer systems, he has even more facts wrong.  All he stated was Fedora, not which service he wanted to start, or which version of Fedora he wanted to start it on.

Upstart simplifies things allot.  But only for services converted already, on OSes with it installed.

It appears that you don't understand what xinetd is/does.

Personally, I run vsftpd, which does not use xinetd at all. In fact, I've removed xinetd from most of my servers.
