How do I add/remove/manage services from the CLI?

Hi all

Just a quick one - how do I manage services from the comand line? I need to add apache to the start-up services, but I can't seem to find anything on Google to help me out.

Thanks!

chkconfig httpd on

will switch it on at next boot

service httpd (start stop reload ) etc will manage the service

chkconfig -- list | grep <service>

list runlevles service is activeated in

man chkconfig

man service

If it is as in Mandriva:

Start:
service httpd start

Stop:
service httpd stop

Restart:
service httpd restart

Enable at boot:
chkconfig --add httpd

Disable at boot:
chkconfig --del httpd

See current boot config:
chkconfig --list httpd

See current overall config:
chkconfig --list

Wonderful. This forum is *much* better than google for linux-related questions!
