Managing Windows services

You can perform the following Windows service management tasks from the command line, or on the Services tab in Sybase Central:

• Create, edit, and delete services
• Start and stop services
• Modify the parameters governing a service
• Add databases to a service so that you can run several databases at one time

The service icons in Sybase Central display the current state of each service using an icon that indicates whether the service is running or stopped.
