Those daemons that are running are "services". ntsysv is a configuration
utility, and it manipulates files in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d (for instance) in order to
get various services to start/stop when you enter a certain runlevel (including
when you boot up into a certain runlevel).
"service xfs status" will tell you if xfs is running or not. "service xfs
start" will start it right now, whether it is configured to start at boot (or
entry into the current runlevel).
"chkconfig xfs on" will configure xfs to start upon entry into current
runlevels (and maybe others). Also you can configure that with ntsysv.
Hope that helps :-)
