The serverctl command can be used to start and stop services in OS X Server. Use serverctl with a list verb to show a list of services: serverctl list Grab a service (without the quotes) and feed it back into serverctl with the enable option and a service= option to identify the service: serverctl enable service=com.apple.servermgrd.xcode Or disable, using the disable verb: serverctl disable service=com.apple.servermgrd.xcode
