## Examples

You can view the status of one or more services by using `pebble services`:

To show status of a single service:

```{terminal}
   :input: pebble services srv1       
Service  Startup  Current
srv1     enabled  active
```

To show status of all services:

```{terminal}
   :input: pebble services
Service  Startup   Current
srv1     enabled   active
srv2     disabled  inactive
```

The "Startup" column shows whether this service is automatically started when Pebble starts ("enabled" means auto-start, "disabled" means don't auto-start).

The "Current" column shows the current status of the service, and can be one of the following:

* `active`: starting or running
* `inactive`: not yet started, being stopped, or stopped
* `backoff`: in a [backoff-restart loop](../service-auto-restart.md)
* `error`: in an error state
