What do +,- and ? symbols represent in `service --status-all`
What do +,- and ? symbols represent in service --status-all
represent in Ubuntu 14.04. I am not able to understand it properly.
I guess +
here might mean delayed services which start after the system startup.
Similarly, -
would mean services running at startup.
No idea about the ?
symbol. Somebody please help me identifying symbols.
ubuntu services upstart

initctl list
might be a better command to view an overview of the services on your system.

The status is [ + ] for running services, [ - ] for stopped services and [ ? ] for services without a status command.
