[19:12] <melodie> hello !
[19:13] <melodie> is anyone around ? I'am looking for a recent doc or information relevant to the management of services (everything out there looks outdated, can't find any tool... )
[21:06] <phillw> melodie: have you looked at the ubuntu server guide?
[21:08] <melodie> phillw no, why ?
[21:09] <melodie> is there something related to a gui in a server guide ?
[21:18] <phillw> melodie: if you want a gui to services, have a look at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-controlling-access-to-linux-services.html please note that I have tested it and do not know if it will do as you want. Please also note that this is not a support channel. For things like services (by which I assume you mean apache, cups etc). #ubuntu-server would be a better channel. They may even be able to let you know about that link.
[21:19] <phillw> *I have NOT tested it*
[21:23] <melodie> phillw I mean all services : upstart jobs as well as the sysvinit services which are not yet ported to upstart and any else which could be there, if systemd is there never know... ie : zram-config service, cups service, sshd, /usr/sbin/modem-manager, and so on and so on...
[21:24] <melodie> phillw I know it's not support here, but packagers : else, no one has a clue anywhere because of fast changes laste years and old gui managers don't work anymore
[21:24] <melodie> so thank you
[21:24] <melodie> phillw your link : by nixCraft on December 12, 2007
[21:25] <phillw> melodie: either #ubuntu-server or #ubuntu-kernel are the only channels I can think of to get more information.
[21:25] <melodie> I know how to seek on google, I have been searching for days and days, and trying all existing gui apps : I wanted to know if something new will arrive next :)
[21:25] <melodie> thanks but I don't think this should be specific to either server or kernel. I'll try with the devs in the coming days. thanks
[21:28] <phillw> sorry I cannot help more, I run a centos server although everyone on it runs server 12.04LTS in their virtual machines :)
[21:28] <melodie> phillw their distro have a very decent service manager. I had a Fedora setup for a course in the hands recently and I was amazed about their job services tools
[21:29] <melodie> Ubuntu team should port it to Ubuntu packages :D
[21:30] <phillw> you can raise it as a wish list bug. It will get read.
[22:50] <melodie> phillw I'll have to ask advice about that at the devs first. I would not know how to tell about it in a wish directly
