# Manage shares services

The Shared File Systems service provides API that allows to manage running share services (Share services API). Using the manila service-list command, it is possible to get a list of all kinds of running services. To select only share services, you can pick items that have field `binary` equal to `manila-share`. Also, you can enable or disable share services using raw API requests. Disabling means that share services are excluded from the scheduler cycle and new shares will not be placed on the disabled back end. However, shares from this service stay available.
