OpenBSD 3.8 Service commands
I am looking for the proper commands to start, restart and stop services manually. In Redhat you typed "service name stop, start or restart and chose enter.

OpenBSD follows different method to start, stop services. There is no service or /etc/init.d kind of stuff.
OpenBSD uses an rc style startup. /etc/rc.conf file used by rc to know what daemons should start with the system.For example httpd can be automatically started by modifying following line into /etc/rc.conf: Code:
httpd_flags="" Code:
httpd_flags=NO Code:
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid` /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/crond.pid` /bin/kill -HUP `cat /path/to/pid.file` Code:
/bin/kill `cat /var/run/httpd.pid` See example how to install mysql server and update files to start or stop mysql service: OpenBSD Install MySQL Server Here is default rc.conf: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/etc/rc.conf?content-type=text/plain Read man page rc for more info and FAQ: http://openbsd.org/faq/index.html If you have specific question about services such as smtp or mysql just post it...
