[8.04]Where is the ubuntu Service Manager to stop and start servies?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I know that Apache and mysql are installed in my computer and starts when I start the ubuntu, but I dont want them to start automatically and I need to start them manually when I need.

Is there something like Services manager which we have in windows available for ubuntu?

thanks

System/Administration/Services ;)

Can't find it in Lucid Lynx distro!!!

Use the command

Code:

---

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

---

or

Code:

---

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

---

or

Code:

---

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

---

depending on what you want.

you could also install bum to enable/disable services.

Since Karmic, the old init commands have been deprecated and might not work. The good news is that it's now even easier: simply run

Code:

---

$ sudo start <service>

---

to start, stop to stop, or restart to restart.

I know this is an old topic, but bum is a really useful tool! =D>
