Depends on the distribution used. I think apache has its own apachectl
command, but most every distro has the ability to use /etc/rc.d/init.d/
files (or another init.d directory elsewhere if non-RH) with arguments
"stop, start, restart". E.G., on RH:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart  (this is for apache)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start

You can't run .sql files, they are data rather than programs. Depending
on the SQL server, there is usually a script command to run .sql files
as a script though. I don't know what the postgresql command is to run
sql scripts, which probably in turn depends on what kind of sql client
program you access the db server from.
