Hi,

How do I get a list of ALL services running on my server? Also is there a way to check a particular service to see if it's running.

As I promised in an earlier post, I have a lot of newbie questions. Hope I'm not bugging anyone so far.

You can get a complete list of proccesses running with:
ps -ef

You can get a list of services that are using up CPU cycles and the like by using:
top

I think that you might be looking for more of something along the lines of:

/sbin/chkconfig --list

This will show you which services will be launched at what run level.

I hope this helps.

try pressing Ctrl+esc ... this depends of course on distro and window manager. im on suse9.1 with kde. it brings up a graphical ps tree. also for a specific one do ps ax|grep 'service name' .
