How to Check Which Services Are Running on a Server?
Running services on a server can consume resources and affect its performance. You can check the list of active services using special commands in the command line. Let’s figure out how to do this.
1. First, open the command line. In Windows, you can do this by pressing Win + R, typing cmd, and pressing Enter. In Linux, open the terminal.
2. To view a list of all running services, enter the command services.msc in the Windows command line. In Linux, the command will differ depending on the distribution (for example, systemctl in Ubuntu).
3. You can also use the tasklist command in Windows or ps aux in Linux to see the running processes and services.
4. If you want to know which services start when the system boots, the msconfig command will help you in Windows. In Linux, you can use systemd-analyze for this.
Now you have the tools to control which services are running on your server. Remember that disabling unnecessary services can improve system performance.
Be careful and accurate when working with services to avoid undesirable consequences for your server’s operation.
