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
Parallels Server Bare Metal. 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 Parallels Server Bare Metal, you cannot manage services and processes
in virtual machines using Parallels Server Bare Metal utilities. 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.
