it seems we do not have such feature on OS X.
That's because it doesn't make sense. How does a user know what is or
is not a service? That's an implementation issue. In OS X, services
that can be started and stopped are either things that the average user
wouldn't want to fiddle with (in which case the existing Startup Item
support from the console is fine [see "man SystemStarter"]), or they
are adjustable in the appropriate System Preference panes (for example,
the Sharing pane lets you enable or disable remote login, FTP access,
etcetera).
Kind regards,
Alastair.
