One advantage of having individual scripts for each run level is that you can run scripts in the /etc/init.d directory individually to stop system services without changing a system's run level.
Become superuser or assume a role that includes the Service Management rights profile.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
Stop the system service.
# /etc/init.d/filename stop |
Restart the system service.
# /etc/init.d/filename start |
Verify that the service has been stopped or started.
# pgrep -f service |
For example, you can stop the NFS server daemons by typing the following:
# /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop # pgrep -f nfs |
Then, you can restart the NFS server daemons by typing the following:
# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start # pgrep -f nfs 101773 101750 102053 101748 101793 102114 # pgrep -f nfs -d, | xargs ps -fp UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD daemon 101748 1 0 Sep 01 ? 0:06 /usr/lib/nfs/nfsmapid daemon 101750 1 0 Sep 01 ? 26:27 /usr/lib/nfs/lockd daemon 101773 1 0 Sep 01 ? 5:27 /usr/lib/nfs/statd root 101793 1 0 Sep 01 ? 19:42 /usr/lib/nfs/mountd daemon 102053 1 0 Sep 01 ? 2270:37 /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd daemon 102114 1 0 Sep 01 ? 0:35 /usr/lib/nfs/nfs4cbd |
