How to read “service --status-all” results

service --status-all

The output of service --status-all lists the state of services controlled by System V.

The + indicates the service is running, - indicates a stopped service. You can see this by
running service SERVICENAME status for a + and - service.

Some services are managed by Upstart. You can check the status of all Upstart services
with sudo initctl list. Any service managed by Upstart will also show in the list provided
by service --status-all but will be marked with a ?.

For Ubuntu (checked with 12.04)

You can get list of all services and select by color one of them with 'grep':
sudo service --status-all | grep postgres

Or you may use another way if you know correct name of service:
sudo service postgresql status

There is a simple way to verify if a service is running

systemctl status service_name

Try:

systemctl status postgres

You can use the below command to check the list of all services.

ps aux
To check your own service:

ps aux | grep postgres
