Service files provide +very similar functionality to init scripts. To make use of service +files simply invoke "systemctl", which will output a list of all +currently running services (and other units). Use "systemctl +list-unit-files" to get a listing of all known unit files, including +stopped, disabled and masked ones. Use "systemctl start +foobar.service" and "systemctl stop foobar.service" to start or stop a +service, respectively. For further details, please refer to +systemctl(1). + +Note that traditional init scripts continue to function on a systemd +system. An init script @SYSTEM_SYSVINIT_PATH@/foobar is implicitly mapped +into a service unit foobar.service during system initialization. + +Thank you! + +Further reading: + man:systemctl(1) + man:systemd(1) + http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-for-admins-3.html + http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Incompatibilities |
