Novell Open Enterprise Server 2015 SP1 services rely on specific service scripts located in /etc/init.d. The scripts used by OES 2015 SP1, some of which are standard Linux scripts, are listed in Table G-1.
IMPORTANT:For managing OES 2015 SP1 services, we strongly recommend using the browser-based tools outlined in Section 11.1, Overview of Management Interfaces and Services. The browser-based tools provide error checking not available at the service-script level, and they ensure that management steps happen in the sequence required to maintain service integrity.

Script Name |
Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
Apache Web server |

ndssnmpsa |
This lets you start and stop the NDS subagent. |
|

FTP |
pure-ftpd |
This is used by the Novell FTP Pattern. |
|
iPrint |
cups novell-idsd novell-ipsmd |
These scripts are required by iPrint cups lets you to start and stop the cupsd daemon that provides spooling and printing functionality for local and remote printers and is always required, even if printers are broadcasted ("Browsing") into (sub)nets. novell-ipsmd lets you to start and stop the ipsmd daemon that manages printers that are assigned under a Print Manager. novell-idsd lets you to start and stop the idsd daemon that manages drivers that are assigned under a Driver Store. |

|
|
Kerberos Password Change Server |
xad-kpasswdd |
|
|
Linux User Management |
namcd nscd |
These daemons are required by Linux User Management and work together to ensure good performance. The namcd daemon caches user and group names and IDs from eDirectory, speeding subsequent lookups of cached users and groups. The nscd daemon caches host names and addresses. |
|
Logging |
syslog |
This is used for logging by many OES services. |
|
Name Service Cache Daemon |
nsdc |
|
|
Novell AFP |
novell-afptcpd |
This script starts and stops the afptcpd daemon, which is the Novell AFP service daemon |
|
Novell AFP |
avahi-daemon |
This is used by AFPtcpd to advertise itself. |
|
Novell CIFS |
novell-cifs |
This script starts and stops the cifsd daemon, which is the Novell CIFS service daemon |
|
Novell DHCP |
dhcpd |
|
|
NetStorage (actually XTier) |
novell-xregd novell-xsrvd |
NetStorage runs inside the novell-xsrvd XTier Web Services daemon, and also utilizes Tomcat services for certain other functions. novell-xregd is the init script for starting and stopping XTier’s registry daemon. It is part of the novell-xtier-base RPM and is enabled by default for run levels 2, 3, and 5. novell-xsrvd is the init script for starting and stopping XTier’s Web services daemon. It is also part of the novell-xtier-web RPM and is enabled for run levels 2, 3, and 5. |
|
Novell Cluster Services (NCS) |
adminfs |
This is used for NCS through iManager and the command line interface. |
|
Novell Cluster Services (NCS) |
novell-ncs |
NCS uses some shell scripts and utilities that come with the heartbeat package. For example, NCS uses a binary called send_arp to send out ARP packets when a secondary address is bound. NCS never runs the heartbeat daemons. In fact, NCS and heartbeat are mutually exclusive when it comes to execution, and heartbeat must always be configured to not run (chkconfig heartbeat off) when NCS is loaded on the server. |
|
Novell Identity Translator |
novell-nit |
This script runs by default on every OES 2015 SP1 and later server with NSS volumes and provides user IDs (UIDs) for NSS file access. Use rcnovell-nit followed by start, stop, restart, or status to view or alter the run state as needed. |
|
Novell Remote Manager |
novell-httpstkd |
This script runs by default on every OES server and enables access to NRM for Linux through a browser. Use this script followed by the status option to view current status. Or use stop, start, or restart options to alter the run state of the NRM daemon as needed. |
|
Novell Storage Services |
novell-nss |
This script runs by default on every OES server with NSS volumes and enables access to the NSS runtime environment. To see if the NSS kernel modules and NSS admin volume are running, enter service novell-nss status, /etc/init.d/novell-nss status, or rcnovell-nss status at a command prompt. If they are not running, use the start option to start them. You cannot stop NSS. |
