Start and Stop Services in Ubuntu

Published on July 8, 2010, by in linux, sysadmin.



How can I start and stop services in Ubuntu with a GUI?

Well depending on how you define graphical, there is an excellent tool called SysV Runlevel Config.



First, install it:

sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf


Then start it with sudo:

sudo sysv-rc-conf


Now you can go through a press the space bar to toggle services on or off at different run levels. This is helpful to disable the many things Ubuntu has on by default such as

saned – for scanners

pppd-dns – for dial up internet

dns-clean – for dial up internet

bluetooth – for bluetooth


others….


sysvrcconf

Sweet!
