I think Services is a windows concept and method.
To run perforce as a service the Perforce Server should be installed as a Windows service. Then an Administrator privileges can start and stop it using the Services dialog in the Control Panel.
To start the Perforce service:
Context-click on “My Computer”, and select “Manage”. The “Computer Management” window is displayed.
In the right hand pane, double click on “Services and Applications”.
Double click on “Services”. You now have a list of available Windows services.
Scroll down until you see the “Perforce” service. Right click on this item and select “Start”.
In Unix it is running as a Daemon
