#services

Stop and start a Homebrew-managed background service in one step so config changes take effect.

Stop, start, and restart Windows services in PowerShell — the forgotten one-liner alternative to services.msc or net stop/start.

Use Set-Service to make a service start at boot, start on demand, or never start at all.

brew services wraps launchd to show and control Homebrew-installed daemons — forgotten because the table hides the launchctl plumbing.

Use Get-Service filtered on StartType to see every service set to Automatic.

Use tasklist /SVC to reveal the services hosted inside every process, especially svchost.exe.

Inspect whether a service is running and how it is configured to start, directly from CMD.

Unload and reload a stuck or misbehaving user agent through launchd instead of killing its process.

See every scheduled task's path, name, and state from PowerShell — audit what runs on your PC and find popup-triggering tasks.

systemctl mask links a unit file to /dev/null so it cannot be started manually, at boot, or pulled in by other services.

Make Linux boot to a text console to save resources, or restore the graphical desktop as default.

Serve DNS names and DHCP leases on a small network.
