Displaying installed
services and their status
On UNIX systems, the sm_service show action displays previously
installed services and their status.
The syntax for the action is as follows. You must type this command with
administrative privileges:
sm_service show <name> [<name> ...]
The show action has one option:
--cmdline
When the action is used with its
--
cmdline option, it displays the sm_service
command line that installed the program as a service. The command line can be
reproduced and used for installing the requested service(s) on another system.
In the absence of the
--
cmdlineoption, the show action
displays the status of the named service (or all services, when <name> is
not given), including:
- Whether the service is running
- The name of the service
- A brief description of the service
