- A Linux service is an application (or set of applications) that runs in the background waiting to be used, or carrying out essential tasks.
- Each service has its corresponding service script, these services being managed by shell scripts so called init scripts or service scripts.
- Normally the name of the scirpt is same as the name of the daemon which script starts when it is executed, for example smb is service if you start this service it will start the daemons smbd and nmbd.
