Description

Depending on Linux distribution and version, this option will have different names and functions:

Red Hat 6

Option name: Install or update service

Allows you to install (after fresh install) or update guests management service (kit upgrade).

Updating the service does not require the guests to be shutdown & restarted

Red Hat 7.x and

CentOS 7.x

Option name: Manage 'systemd' services

Allows you to view the service status and update the service configuration file (to add dependencies, description, etc...)

Be extremely cautious when updating the file. Preferably limit updates to:

Description=, After=, Before=, Wants= parameters in the Unit section
TimeoutStopSec= in the Service section
Restart=, RestartSec=, StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitBurst= parameters in the Service section as described in the How to restart CHARON-VAX/AXP on Linux automatically on failure chapter.

Examples
