How to Use the Services Utility from a Command Line

Embedded Spaces

In command-line arguments, remember to place paths, file names, etc. that contain embedded spaces in quotes. Failure to do this will prevent a command from executing correctly.

Example: > view "my file.txt"

How to Use the Services Utility from a Command Line

While primarily designed for use from the Support Tools Dashboard, the Services utility can also be run from a command line any node, as desired.

Use the Services utility to:

•View information on all services installed on a system

•Stop or start services on a system

•Save a list of services to a file

To Access the Services Utility from a Command Line

To run the Services utility in interactive mode from a command line:

Step 1 From a command prompt on a Support Tools node, navigate to <support_tools_root>.

Step 2 Enter servicecontrol. Optionally in the same line, to specify a different machine to serve as the application server, enter its DNS or IP address. If none is specified, the local machine serves as the application server. Press <Enter>.

Note: To view a list of systems defined in the current system's system list, use the systemlist command. To view connection status for systems in the list, use the systemlist /check command.

Step 3 Enter commands as described in the Command Line Options section below.

Note: For additional information on basic Web Tools command line use, including system selection options and command-line mode vs interactive mode see Using Cisco Common Tools from a Command Line (page 125).
