or status check with restart or status. If slpd should be active by default, enable

31.2 SLP Front-Ends in SUSE Linux
To find services provided by SLP in your network, use an SLP front-end. SUSE Linux
Enterprise contains several front-ends:
slptool
slptool is a simple command line program that can be used to announce SLP in-
quiries in the network or announce proprietary services. slptool --help lists
all available options and functions. slptool can also be called from scripts that
process SLP information.
YaST SLP Browser
YaST contains a separate SLP browser that lists all services in the local network
announced by SLP in a tree diagram. Find it as Network Services > SLP Browser.
Konqueror
When used as a network browser, Konqueror can display all SLP services available
in the local network at slp:/. Click the icons in the main window to obtain more
detailed information about the relevant service. If you use Konqueror with
service:/, click the relevant icon once in the browser window to set up a con-
nection with the selected service.
