Ubuntu : Karmic 9.10 : Service Handling

After a fairly smooth upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10. I found System->Administration->Services .... The "Services" GUI is missing in the menu, so I couldn't help but look to see if there is another way and turns out there is :)

The "service" Command Way
A nice clean way of seeing services in action.

service --status-all

Example of seeing a service status

sudo service vsftpd status

The Other Way?
Shows the various services

ls /etc/init.d/

Example of seeing a service status

/etc/init.d/vsftpd status

Final Thoughts
I actually Like the "service" command as it seems more cleaner to look at.

Think I'll check the "Menu Editor" to see if it hasn't accidently been de-activiated. [moments later] Heh, it is missing.
