Systemd
Starting with Ubuntu 15.04, Upstart will be deprecated in favor of Systemd. With Systemd to manage the services we can do the following (through the systemctl action SERVICE
pattern):
sudo systemctl start SERVICE
: Use it to start a service. Does not persist after rebootsudo systemctl stop SERVICE
: Use it to stop a service. Does not persist after rebootsudo systemctl restart SERVICE
: Use it to restart a servicesudo systemctl reload SERVICE
: If the service supports it, it will reload the config files related to it without interrupting any process that is using the service.systemctl status SERVICE
: Shows the status of a service. Tells whether a service is currently running.sudo systemctl enable SERVICE
: Turns the service on, on the next reboot or on the next start event. It persists after reboot.sudo systemctl disable SERVICE
: Turns the service off on the next reboot or on the next stop event. It persists after reboot.systemctl is-enabled SERVICE
: Check if a service is currently configured to start or not on the next reboot.systemctl is-active SERVICE
: Check if a service is currently active.systemctl show SERVICE
: Show all the information about the service.sudo systemctl mask SERVICE
: Completely disable a service by linking it to /dev/null
; you cannot start the service manually or enable the service.sudo systemctl unmask SERVICE
: Removes the link to /dev/null
and restores the ability to enable and or manually start the service.
