Service Status

The page at Status > Services displays the status of most base system and package service daemons.

The page lists each service with its name, description, and status as seen in Figure Services Status. The status is listed as Running or Stopped.

Normally it is not necessary to control services in this manner, but occasionally there are maintenance or troubleshooting reasons for doing so.

From this view, services can be controlled in various ways:

  • Click fa-repeat to restart a running service

    Note

    Some services will stop and start, others reload the configuration. Check the documentation of each service for details.

  • Click fa-stop-circle to stop a running service

  • Click fa-play-circle to start a stopped service

If available, each entry also contains additional shortcuts which navigate to pages related to the service. See Quickly Navigate the GUI with Shortcuts for information about shortcut icons.
