Managing Services and Processes

This chapter provides information on what services and processes are, how they influence the operation and performance of your system, and what tasks they perform in the system.

You will learn how to use the command line utilities in order to manage services and processes in Virtuozzo. In particular, you will learn how to monitor active processes in your system, change the mode of the xinetd-dependent services, identify the Container ID where a process is running by the process ID, start, stop, or restart services and processes, and edit the service run levels.

Note: In the current version of Virtuozzo, you cannot use Virtuozzo utilities to manage services and processes in virtual machines. However, you can log in to a particular virtual machine (e.g., via RDP to a Windows virtual machine and SSH to a Linux virtual machine) and manage its services and processes in the same way you would manage them on a standalone computer.
