Services

Services on Ubuntu are managed in a broadly similar way to those on Red Hat.

Graphical Tools

Services can be configured by clicking System -> Administration -> Services. A tool called Boot-Up Manager is also available.

Command Line Tools

Below is a table of example commands for managing services. The apache/httpd service is used as an example.
Task
Red Hat / Fedora
Ubuntu
Ubuntu
(with sysv-rc-conf or sysvconfig)
Starting/stopping services immediately
service httpd start
invoke-rc.d apache start
service apache start
Enabling a service at boot
chkconfig httpd on
update-rc.d apache defaults
sysv-rc-conf apache on
Disabling a service at boot
chkconfig httpd off
update-rc.d apache purge
sysv-rc-conf apache off
Note: Whereas Red Hat and Fedora servers boot into runlevel 3 by default, Ubuntu servers default to runlevel 2.
Note: The service and invoke-rc.d commands call init scripts to do the actual work. You can also start and stop services by doing e.g. /etc/init.d/apache start on Ubuntu, or /etc/init.d/httpd start on Red Hat/Fedora.

Network

Graphical Tools


Fedora/RHEL have system-config-network, ubuntu pre 10.04 had gnome-nettool to edit static ip address, since 10.04 nm-connection-editor is the best choice. For Ubuntu 10.04 Studio there is only manual editing of files since NetworkMontor is not included
