Is your distro powered by systemd init? The systemctl command can be helpful!

    Here’s some more examples:

    Systemctl edit: create an extension for the unit file and add some changes
    S edit --full: edit the full unit file (and timer too iirc)
    S enable --now: enable + start
    S disable --now: disable + stop

    Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are

    systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And then systemctl list-units --failed To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.

    On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is “up and running” just by systemds status
