用途说明
service命令用于对系统服务进行管理,比如启动(start)、停止(stop)、重启(restart)、查看状态(status)等。相关的命令还包括chkconfig、ntsysv等,chkconfig用于查看、设置服务的运行级别,ntsysv用于直观方便的设置各个服务是否自动启动。service命令本身是一个shell脚本,它在/etc/init.d/目录查找指定的服务脚本,然后调用该服务脚本来完成任务。
看看下面的手册页可能更加清楚的了解service的内幕:service运行指定服务(称之为System V初始脚本)时,把大部分环境变量去掉了,只保留LANG和TERM两个环境变量,并且把当前路径置为/,也就是说是在一个可以预测的非常干净的环境中运行服务脚本。这种脚本保存在/etc/init.d目录中,它至少要支持start和stop命令。
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment vari-
ables and with current working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of
COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All
scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart,
the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

使用示例
示例一 网络重启
当修改了主机名、ip地址等信息时,经常需要把网络重启使之生效。
[root@node34 root]# service network
用法:/etc/init.d/network {start|stop|restart|reload|status}
[root@node34 root]# service network status
配置设备:
lo eth0
当前的活跃设备:
lo eth0
[root@node34 root]# service network restart
正在关闭接口 eth0: [ 确定 ]
关闭环回接口: [ 确定 ]
设置网络参数: [ 确定 ]
弹出环回接口: [ 确定 ]
弹出界面 eth0: [ 确定 ]
[root@node34 root]#
示例二 重启MySQL
[root@node34 root]# service mysql
mysql: unrecognized service
[root@node34 root]# service mysqld
用法:/etc/init.d/mysqld {start|stop|status|condrestart|restart}
[root@node34 root]# service mysqld status
mysqld (pid 1638) 正在运行...
[root@node34 root]# service mysqld restart
停止 MySQL: [ 确定 ]
启动 MySQL: [ 确定 ]
[root@node34 root]#
