You can stop and restart the services using the standard command line switches. Such as ./httpd .
It would make more sense if they could be added to the system services and treated as such. My solution is basically a work-around.

In RedHat there is a "services" menu where some services can be stopped and started. Is this RedHat specific or would it make sense to create an entry that appears here?

Your entries (for a standard install) would be something like: #Start MGOS HTTP #cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/apache2/bin ./httpd #Start MGOS cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/server/bin ./mgserverd.sh Andy Morsell, P.E.

What is the standard practice for running something the equivalent as a service on Windows? I ask this question based on the recent email where the user had not started either Apache or MapGuide. This has happened several times so it would seem to me that we should be configuring installs to make these process run at startup. What is the best way to implement this and what kind of installer work would be required?
