How to start and stop system services on AIX

On Aix, a service can also be called a subsystem. It is controlled by the System Resource Controller (SRC. SRC provides a set of commands to control the subsystems of the entire AIX system. Therefore, it is also necessary to start and stop related services (subsystems) through these commands.

1. Start the subsystem:

Startsrc is responsible for starting the subsystem on AIX. The general usage is:

Startsrc-s inetd Start Internet Service

Startsrc-t ftp start the FTP service (because the FTP service belongs to the inetd subsystem, you need to use the-T option to start ftp .)

Startsrc-g tcpip start all TCPIP subsystems

2. Stop the subsystem:

Stopsrc-H Zork-s srctest-F forces the secret subsystem on the Zork host to stop.

Stopsrc-A: Stop all subsystems of the Local Machine

3. Refresh Subsystem

Refresh-g tcpip refresh the subsystem to apply corresponding configuration modifications.

4. View All subsystems on the System

Lssrc-A lists all subsystems of the Local Machine (whether running or not)

Lssrc-g tcpip lists all subsystems in the TCPIP group.
