[cobalt-users] starting and stopping services on a cobalt server

["dr. mikey." <mikey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

to whomever finds this useful,

one of the most commonly asked questions on this list is:  "how do i
[start|stop] service x?"  since this is also one of my number one
questions, i spent some time the other day compiling a list of commands
for all of the scripts located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/.  i am posting these
commands (the complete list is located below my sig) to the list in case
any of you finds the information helpful.

note, that this list was compiled for our qube2.  since i do not have
any other cobalt product, i really do not know if this list is valid for
any of the raqs etc.  please let me know if i have included any errors
or omissions.

take care, and have a good weekend,

mikey.
