How to Use the Services Utility from a Command Line

Using the Services Utility from a Command Line

When using the Services utility from a command line, note that:

•Unlike in Dashboard use, you can stop services whose Type is Critical (service type is defined in the user-modifiable processinfo.xml file.)\

•Prior to stopping a service, you should be aware of the significance of stopping it, including any dependant services that may be affected.

•The Services utility will not allow you to stop services with peer or child dependencies while those dependencies are running. If you attempt to stop such a service, the utility returns a message stating that dependent services are running.
