Managing services

You can carry out the following service management tasks from the command line, or on the Services tab in Sybase Central:

• Add, edit, and remove services.

• Start, stop, and pause services.

• Modify the parameters governing a service.

• Add databases to a service so you can run several databases at one time.

The service icons in Sybase Central display the current state of each service using a traffic light icon (running, paused, or stopped).
