man service
service --status-all
sudo service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
sudo service cron start

The  SCRIPT  parameter  specifies  a  System  V init script, located in
/etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The supported values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
invoked  script,  service  passes  COMMAND  and  OPTIONS it to the init
script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the  start  and
stop  commands.   As  a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the
script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with  the  start
command.
