Introduction<\/h2>\n

Services are the applications that run in the operating system\u2019s background waiting to be used. Linux lets you see and manage these services and overall offers more control over them.<\/p>\n

In this article, you will learn different ways to start, stop and restart any service in Linux Mint 20.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n

You will need a user account with root\/sudo privileges, access to the terminal, and the systemctl tool which comes with Linux.<\/p>\n

Managing Services Using Systemd<\/h2>\n

Systemd is itself a daemon which refers to libraries, packages, and utilities around daemons. It is the most advanced system management daemon that is fast and takes much fewer system resources than its counterparts.<\/p>\n

View All Services<\/h3>\n

You can see all the available services in your system with the following command.<\/p>\n

sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type=service<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
View Running Services<\/h3>\n
To see all the services that are currently running on your system, run the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl | grep running<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Start a Service<\/h3>\n
Use the following command to start your service.<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start <service name><\/pre>\n
Note:<\/strong> Remember <service name> is a placeholder and you need to replace it with the name of your service.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stop a Service<\/h3>\n
Use the following command to stop your service.<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl stop <service name><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Restart a Service<\/h3>\n
Use the following command to restart your service.<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart <service name><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Check Status of the Service<\/h3>\n
Use the following command to check the status of your service.<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl status <service name><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Managing Services Using service Command<\/h2>\n
Service is an advanced command that is a part of init. But its execution is done now by redirecting commands to systemctl.<\/p>\n
View All Services in Your System<\/h3>\n
To check all the services you have on your system, simply run the command below.<\/p>\n
sudo service --status-all<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Note that all the enabled services are preceded by the [+] <\/strong>symbol while all the disabled services have the [-] <\/strong>symbol next to them.<\/p>\n
Start a Service<\/h3>\n
You can start a service using the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo service <service name> start<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Stop a Service<\/h3>\n
To stop a service, use the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo service <service name> stop<\/pre>\n
<\/h3>\n
Restart a Service<\/h3>\n
Restart any service with the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo service <service name> restart<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Check Status of the Service<\/h3>\n
You can check the status of any service with the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo service <service name> status<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Managing Services Using init Scripts<\/h2>\n
The init daemon is a daemon management system referred to as System V init. It takes a lot of resources so it was replaced by systemd.<\/p>\n
Start a Service<\/h3>\n
Start service with the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/<service name>start<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Stop a Service<\/h3>\n
To stop a service, run the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/<service name> stop<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Restart a Service<\/h3>\n
To restart a service, run the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/<service name> restart<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Check Status of the Service<\/h3>\n
Check the status of a service using the following command.<\/p>\n
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/<service name> status<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
