How to check if services are running or not

[James]

Hi all,

I am new to AIX. My past experience are mostly related to RH Linux.
I wondered how to check if a daemon service, say dhcpd, is running or
not.
In Linux, there is
service dhcpd on/off/status

Is there a similiar command in AIX?

Many thanks,

James

I guess to start and stop a daemon is using
startsrc -s
stopsrc -s
How about checking status?

man lssrc
lssrc -a
lssrc -s named
OR smitty > Processes & sunsystems > subsystems ...
I'm sure there is a shorcut for smitty but i don't recall what is is.

Only in some distributions. The "service" command is not a general linux
command.

Don't know, but from reading the documentation (freely available on the
web, don't you know ;-) ) it doesn't look like it. The only possibility
I can see would be smit/smitty, which is supposed to be the AIX system
management tool.
