If you're using X, then click the Red Hat logo to bring up the applications menu -> System Settings -> Server Settings -> Services.

It'll ask for the root password, then look through the list of services on the left. Anything checked is running. If you don't want it, select the service, click the button to stop it, uncheck the box next to the service (to prevent it from starting on the next boot), and then choose to File -> Save.

Or alternatively you can use the console

Code:

ps -aux

This way if its a long list of processes you can use the ever useful grep to find the ones your interested in.

Code:

ps -aux | grep [search criteria]

To stop them you just need to use the kill command followed by the PID (process ID), ie

Code:

kill 25

hope that helps

From console, How can i know which services would be started whenever system turn on.

I mean to see the list of auto started services from CLI like # system-configure-services show out in X mode.

Thank you.
