Starting and stopping daemon services The init program of Linux also known as process control initialization is in charge of starting all the normal and authorized processes that need to run at boot time in your system. These may include the APACHE daemons, NETWORK daemons, and anything else that must be running when your machine boots. Each of these processes has a script under “/etc/rc.d/init.d/” directory written to accept an argument, which can be “start”, “stop” and “restart”. You can execute those scripts by hand in fact with a command like: For example: · To start the httpd Web Server manually under Linux.
