displaying services from command line

Is there a way to display the current running services on Red Hat AS 2.1 from the command line?

Thanks

ps -aux

ps -ef or ps aux (notice the subtle difference) will show you running processes.

To see what services are configured to start up at boot, try chkconfig --list

I'm just wondering:
Is there a difference typing ps aux, instead of ps -aux? It displays the same in my shell; But I don't know what happens that I can't see.

Well most Linux ditributions use a Solaris-like display of process information. The "aux" flags are "BSD-like", which I believe is actually the POSIX standard. Usually POSIX standard flags are specified with no "-" (dash). On many Linux distributions you indicate whether you're using Linux style or BSD style by the presence or absance of the dash.

Ok. I learned something new already today. (It's now 10:27 AM here in Norway.)
