service: List the name and status of all services.
$ service --status-all
try on your machine

The command "service --status-all" is used in Linux systems to display the status of all services running on the system.

When you execute this command in the terminal, it will list all the services, along with their status (running, stopped, or unknown), represented by +, -, or ?. The output will typically look like this:

[ + ] acpid [ - ] apache2 [ ? ] apparmor [ + ] avahi-daemon [ - ] bluetooth [ ? ] console-setup.sh

Here's what each of the symbols represents:

  • [+] means the service is running.
  • [-] indicates that the service is stopped.
  • [?] means that the status of the service could not be determined.

This command is helpful for quickly checking the status of multiple services at once, allowing you to identify any issues or troubleshoot the system.
