To start or stop a service, the 'service' command will do.

To control services started and stopped in each runlevel:
(To control what is started when you boot, for example)
As 'root' you can use chkconfig
usage:   chkconfig --list [name]
         chkconfig --add <name>
         chkconfig --del <name>
         chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset>)

For example:
chkconfig --list
will output a list of all available services, and current runlevel 
configuration for each.

chkconfig also controls xinetd services, and there is no need to reload or 
restart xinetd after making modifications via chkconfig.

'man chkconfig' is your friend. :)
