Details
svctl controls the services managed by supervisor. More details there.
fw 7.29 help - run without arguments to get help:
root@fritz2:/var/mod/root# svctl -?
Usage:
svctl [CMD] [NAME]
[CMD]
notify
reload
start
status
stop
shutdown
[NAME]
service name
fw 7.39 help - run without arguments to get help:
root@fritz:/var/mod/root# svctl Usage: svctl status [<services>] svctl start|reload|stop <services> svctl notify <service> svctl --quiet is-active|is-failed <service> svctl shutdown
The notify command uses supervisor.notify.socket to inform supervisor about a successfully started service.
This is used to write notify type supervisor services in scripts.
The remaining commands are sent to supervisor.ctrl.socket.
Examples
svctl stop wifi
replaces:
/etc/init.d/rc.wlan stop
Global status fw 7.29 - this is from a mesh master, online on DSL:
root@fritz1:/var/mod/root# svctl status [svctl] aha.service active [svctl] apparmor.service inactive [svctl] avmipcd.service active [svctl] avmnexusd.service active [svctl] boxnotify.service inactive [svctl] capi-config.service inactive [svctl] capi.service inactive [svctl] capitcp.service inactive [svctl] config.service inactive [svctl] configd.service inactive [svctl] cortexa9.service inactive [svctl] debug.service inactive [svctl] default-files.service inactive [svctl] devnodes.service inactive [svctl] disable_ipv6.service inactive [svctl] dsl.service active [svctl] environment.service inactive [svctl] filesystem.service inactive [svctl] flash-update.service inactive [svctl] kpid.service active [svctl] meshd.service active [svctl] meshd_config.service inactive [svctl] mobiled.service inactive [svctl] modload.service inactive [svctl] modules-load.service inactive [svctl] net.service active [svctl] oemcheck.service failed [svctl] piglet.service inactive [svctl] plcd.service failed [svctl] printer.service inactive [svctl] psetd.service inactive [svctl] psupport-init-prenet.service inactive [svctl] ptest_release.service inactive [svctl] rcmod.service inactive [svctl] rekey.service inactive [svctl] run_clock.service inactive [svctl] smb2.service active [svctl] spindown.service inactive [svctl] sysctl.service inactive [svctl] tffs.service inactive [svctl] udev.service active [svctl] udevadm.service inactive [svctl] untrustedd.service active [svctl] usb.service inactive [svctl] voip.service active [svctl] voipkpid.service active [svctl] watchdog.service inactive
As you can see status is of no big help yet, most services are listed inactive. Same list filtered:
root@fritz1:/var/mod/root# svctl status | grep ' active' [svctl] aha.service active [svctl] avmipcd.service active [svctl] avmnexusd.service active [svctl] dsl.service active [svctl] kpid.service active [svctl] meshd.service active [svctl] net.service active [svctl] smb2.service active [svctl] udev.service active [svctl] untrustedd.service active [svctl] voip.service active [svctl] voipkpid.service active
This will likely change in future when more services get migrated from oneshot to notify type.
However, there are better means to get status info in FRITZ!OS.

The names of source files compiled into an executable often help to understand function blocks (and show gaps in the docs).
