I recently came across a server that ran services, I was not familiar with, and services were unclear as to the issues I was troubleshooting. As a quick fix, I decided to get a list of services that should be running and start any that were not from that list:
|
1 |
chkconfig —list | grep “2:on” | grep “3:on” | grep “4:on” | grep “5:on” | awk ‘{print “service ” $1 ” status”}’ > status.sh |
In some cases, the service was not listed as I had expected, so to get the list I had to run the following, where $3 is the service name from the prior commands. In some cases, I had to use $5, as history had a different output:
|
1 |
history | grep start | grep service | grep –v grep | awk ‘{print $5}’ | sort | uniq | awk ‘{print “service ” $0 ” status”}’ > status.sh |
Now we can find out which are running:
|
1 2 |
chmod +x status.sh ./status.sh | grep ” not “ | awk ‘{print “service ” $1 ” start”}’ > start.sh |
Validate what you are starting, come on, be informed and intentful in what you are doing, and if safe, run the second and third command:
|
1 2 3 |
cat start.sh chmod +x start.sh ./start.sh |
