This chapter provides information on what services and processes are, the influence they have
on the operation and performance of your system, and the tasks they perform in the system.
You will learn how to use the command line utilities in order to manage services and processes
in Parallels Server Bare Metal. In particular, you will get to know how you can monitor active
processes in your system, change the mode of the xinetd-dependent services, identify the
Container ID where a process is running by the process ID, start, stop, or restart services and
processes, and edit the service run levels.
Note: In the current version of Parallels Server Bare Metal, you cannot manage services and
processes in virtual machines using Parallels Server Bare Metal utilities. However, you can log
in to a particular virtual machine (e.g. via RDP to a Windows virtual machine and SSH to a
Linux virtual machine) and manage its services and processes in the same way you would
manage them on a standalone computer.
