This tutorial goes through basic Linux service commands including starting, stopping, reloading, restarting, disabling, enabling, and checking status of services on a Linux machine.
For most services on a Linux machine, you can start them via simply entering:
sudo systemctl start <service_name> # or
sudo service <service_name> start
The same goes for stopping, just replace start with stop as so:
sudo systemctl stop <service_name> # or
sudo service <service_name> stop
And likewise for reloading and restarting services:
sudo systemctl restart <service_name> # or
sudo service <service_name> restart
# for reloading it would be
sudo systemctl reload <service_name> # or
sudo service <service_name> reload
# restarting services stops the service entirely while reloading simply reloads conf files without breaking existing connections
By now you get the idea:
sudo systemctl enable <service_name> # or
sudo service <service_name> enable
# for disabling it would be
sudo systemctl disable <service_name> # or
sudo service <service_name> disable
Likewise:
sudo systemctl status <service_name> # or
sudo service <service_name> status
