+

+
+\fBservice \-\-status\-all\fR
+
+\fBservice\fR \fB\-\-help\fR | \fB\-h\fR | \fB\-\-version\fR
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B service
+runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible,
+removing most environment variables
+and with current working directory set to \fB/\fR.
+
+The
+.I SCRIPT
+parameter specifies a System V init script,
+located in \fB/etc/init.d/\fISCRIPT\fR.
+The supported values of
+.I COMMAND
+depend on the invoked script,
+.B service
+passes
+.I COMMAND
+and
+.I OPTIONS
+it to the init script unmodified.
+All scripts should support at least the
+.B start
+and
+.B stop
+commands.
+As a special case, if
+.I COMMAND
+is \fB\-\-full-restart\fR, the script is run twice, first with the
+.B stop
+command, then with the
+.B start
+command.
+
+.B service \-\-status\-all
+runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the
+.B status
+command.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+\fB/etc/init.d\fR
+The directory containing System V init scripts.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+\fBLANG\fR, \fBTERM\fR
+The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
+
+.SH SEE ALSO
