Service Control

Service Control is a software that helps users control their services easily. It offers a very simple solution, making it accessible to anyone in need of managing their services. However, it's only available for Gentoo's service directories. Therefore, if your distribution differs, you'll have to modify the initial combo variable to make it compatible.

One important thing to keep in mind is that Service Control needs to be run as root for it to work correctly. In terms of installation, the process is pretty straightforward. To compile the package, simply navigate to the directory containing the source code and type "./configure" to configure the package for your particular system. If you're using "csh" on an old version of System V, you may need to type "sh ./configure" instead to prevent "csh" from trying to execute "configure" itself.

During the configuration process, the software will run several feature checks and may take a while to complete. Once done, type "make" to compile the package and "make install" to install the necessary programs and data files including documentation. Finally, to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, type "make clean."

Overall, Service Control is a useful tool for someone looking for an easy way to manage their services, granted they have the correct distribution. Once installed, the user can expect a straightforward experience.
