The service command is a simple interface to the
  services startup system.
Its purpose is to list the services or invoke actions on them as
    provided by the rc.d scripts. When used to invoke
    rc.d scripts, service will
    set the same environment that is used at boot time.
The options are as follows:
  - -e
- List services that are enabled. The list of scripts is compiled using
      rcorder(8) the same way as
      is done in rc(8); each script is
      first checked for an “rcvar” assignment and if present,
      checked to see if it is enabled. If one or more
      rc_script_name are specified, only those are
      checked. The rc_script_name arguments are always
      specified without a path prefix.
- -l
- List all files in /etc/rc.d (the default of
      rc_directories as defined inrc.conf(5)). A script will
      be listed unless it has the “nostart” keyword enabled.
- -v
- Report what rc_directoriesare defined or in which
      directory therc.d scriptwas found when an
      action is invoked.
When used to invokerc.d scripts, the
  service command sets umask to
  022, HOME to
  /, and PATH to
  /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin which is how they are
  set in /etc/rc at boot time. The
  action is typically one of start,
  restart, status, or any other
  argument supported by the rc_script_name.
The service utility exits 0 on success,
  and >0 if an error occurs.
These are typical usages of the service command:
# service sshd restart
Stopping sshd.
Starting sshd.
 
$ service -v inetd status
inetd is located in /etc/rc.d
inetd is running as pid 1713.
 
$ service -ve ccd motd hostapd my_pkg
rc_directories is /etc/rc.d /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d
/etc/rc.d/ccd
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/my_pkg
/etc/rc.d/motd
 
In the last example,
    hostapd(8) was apparently
    left disabled and the additional directory
    /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d was configured by redefining the
    variable rc_directories in
    rc.conf; further, my_pkg=yes must
    have also been set.
The service utility first appeared in
  NetBSD 7.0.
