The relationship between systemctl and service and chkconfig commands
- systemctl command: It is a systemd tool, mainly responsible for controlling the systemd system and service manager.
- service command: You can start, stop, restart, and shut down system services, and you can also display the current status of all system services.
- chkconfig command: It is a command line tool for managing system services (service). The so-called system service (service) is a program that starts when the system starts and closes when the system shuts down.
The systemctl command is a system service manager command, which actually combines the two commands service and chkconfig.
systemctl is the main tool among the service management tools of RHEL 7. It integrates the functions of the previous service and chkconfig. You can use it to enable/disable services permanently or only for the current session.
So the systemctl command is a collection and replacement of the service command and the chkconfig command.
For example: using service to start the service actually calls the systemctl command.
[root@localhost ~]# service httpd start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start httpd.service
Usage of systemctl command
Systemctl command introduction:
Systemctl is a systemd tool, mainly responsible for controlling the systemd system and service manager.
Systemd is a collection of system management daemons, tools and libraries used to replace the System V initial process. The function of Systemd is to centrally manage and configure UNIX-like systems.
Systemd is system daemon, which is an init software under Linux.
Common usage of Systemctl command:
(1) List all available units:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl list-unit-files UNIT FILE STATE proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount static dev-hugepages.mount static dev-mqueue.mount static proc-fs-nfsd.mount static proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount static sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount static sys-kernel-config.mount static sys-kernel-debug.mount static tmp.mount disabled var-lib-nfs-rpc_pipefs.mount static brandbot.path disabled cups.path enabled
(2) List all available units:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl list-units UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount loaded active waiting Arbitrary sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:10.0-host2-target2:0:0-2:0:0:0-block-sda sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:10.0-host2-target2:0:0-2:0:0:0-block-sda sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:10.0-host2-target2:0:0-2:0:0:0-block-sda sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:10.0-host2-target2:0:1-2:0:1:0-block-sdb sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:10.0-host2-target2:0:1-2:0:1:0-block-sdb sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:11.0-0000:02:01.0-net-ens33.device loade sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:11.0-0000:02:02.0-sound-card0.device lo ..............
(3) List all failed units:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl --failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● network.service loaded failed failed LSB: Bring up/down networking ● teamd@team0.service loaded failed failed Team Daemon for device team0 LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type. 2 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too. To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
(4) Check whether a unit is started:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl is-enabled httpd.service enabled
(5) Check the running status of a service:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status httpd.service

(7) Start, stop, restart services, etc.:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service # systemctl restart httpd.service # systemctl stop httpd.service # systemctl reload httpd.service # systemctl status httpd.service
(8) Check whether the service is activated and configured Start up:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl is-active httpd active [root@localhost ~]# systemctl disable httpd Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service. [root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable httpd Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service.
(9) Use the systemctl command to kill the service:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl kill httpd
(10) List the various services, mounts, devices, etc. of the system:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl list-unit-files --type automount device path snapshot swap timer busname mount service socket target
(11) Obtain the system default startup level and set the default startup level:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl get-default graphical.target [root@localhost ~]# systemctl set-default multi-user.target
(12) Start the running level:
systemctl isolate multiuser.target
(13) Restart, stop, suspend, hibernate the system, etc.:
# systemctl reboot
# systemctl halt
# systemctl suspend
# systemctl hibernate
# systemctl hybrid-sleepService命令用法
service命令可以启动、停止、重新启动和关闭系统服务，还可以显示所有系统服务的当前状态。
service命令的作用是去/etc/init.d目录下寻找相应的服务，进行开启和关闭等操作。
使用示例：
开启关闭一个服务：service httpd start/stop
[root@localhost ~]# service httpd start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start httpd.service
查看系统服务的状态：service –status-all
[root@localhost ~]# service --status-all

chkconfig是管理系统服务(service)的命令行工具。所谓系统服务(service)，就是随系统启动而启动，随系统关闭而关闭的程序。
chkconfig可以更新(启动或停止)和查询系统服务(service)运行级信息。更简单一点，chkconfig是一个用于维护/etc/rc[0-6].d目录的命令行工具。
chkconfig常见用法：
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --help
chkconfig 版本 1.7.2 - 版权 (C) 1997-2000 红帽公司
在 GNU 公共许可条款下，本软件可以自由重发行。
用法： chkconfig [--list] [--type <类型>] [名称]
chkconfig --add <名称>
chkconfig --del <名称>
chkconfig --override <名称>
chkconfig [--level <级别>] [--type <类型>] <名称> <on|off|reset|resetpriorities>（一）设置service开机是否启动：
chkconfig name on/off/reset
- on、off、reset用于改变service的启动信息。
- on表示开启，off表示关闭，reset表示重置。
默认情况下，on和off开关只对运行级2，3，4，5有效，reset可以对所有运行级有效。
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig httpd on 注意：正在将请求转发到“systemctl enable httpd.service”。
在Redhat7上，运行chkconfig命令，都会被转到systemcle命令上。
（2）设置service运行级别：
chkconfig --level levels
该命令可以用来指定服务的运行级别，即指定运行级别2,3,4,5等。
- 等级0表示：表示关机
- 等级1表示：单用户模式
- 等级2表示：无网络连接的多用户命令行模式
- 等级3表示：有网络连接的多用户命令行模式
- 等级4表示：不可用
- 等级5表示：带图形界面的多用户模式
- 等级6表示：重新启动
例如：
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --level 5 httpd on 注意：正在将请求转发到“systemctl enable httpd.service”
（三）列出service启动信息：
# chkconfig --list [name]
如果不指定name，会列出所有services的信息。
每个service每个运行级别都会有一个启动和停止脚本；当切换运行级别时，init不会重启已经启动的service，也不会重新停止已经停止的service。
例如：
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --list
注意：该输出结果只显示 SysV 服务，并不包含原生 systemd 服务。SysV 配置数据可能被原生 systemd 配置覆盖。
如果您想列出 systemd 服务,请执行 'systemctl list-unit-files'。
欲查看对特定 target 启用的服务请执行
'systemctl list-dependencies [target]'。
