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.

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

From: /usr/sbin/service



#printf " %s %-60s %sn" "[?]" "$SERVICE:" "unknown" 1>&2
#printf " %s %-60s %sn" "[+]" "$SERVICE:" "running"
#printf " %s %-60s %sn" "[-]" "$SERVICE:" "NOT running"

[?] means the service status isn't known (the init file does not output a status)
[+] means the service is running
[-] means the service is not running

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