+# Check The Status Of All Services
+
+In a Linux environment, you can quickly check the status of a number of
+different services. By running `[sudo] service --status-all`, the status
+command will be invoked for all services under the `/etc/init.d/` directory.
+
+So, if you want to check the status of something like `nginx` or `apache`,
+just run `service --status-all` and find it in the list. The `-` symbol
+means it isn't running, the `+` symbol means it is up, and the `?` symbol
+means that it cannot determine the status.
