How to check status and start/stop daemons on the AIX platform

For example, let's check the status of the ntpd service:

[root@myserver:/] lssrc -a|grep ntpd
 xntpd            tcpip                         inoperative

It is inoperative, meaning not running.

Start it:

[root@myserver:/] startsrc -s xntpd
0513-059 The xntpd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 11141174.

If you want to stop it, use

[root@myserver:/] stopsrc -s xntpd
