hmmm... what is the difference between Tasks and Services? if you want to check services that starts at boot up, look into init scripts. which distro do you have?

What Linux distribution are you using? It helps if you can put it in your profile if you want accurate answers.

On Redhat based distros (and Mandriva), you can check services by doing

#chkconfig --list

or

#service --status-all

The second command is better because it lets you know whether the service is actually running or not. The first one just lists all services and whether they are enabled or disabled.

both commands are not available in Ubuntu Feisty,
