I asked the same question some time ago, as I was using Mandrake
previously, which has a GUI to list all the services, and buttons to
stop/start them etc.
Apparently, there is no such thing in Ubuntu, you must do it manually. 
Open a terminal, go to /etc/init.d and type "<service-name> stop|start|
restart"

Well, that's from memory... ;-)


HTH,
