Conclusion
In this chapter, you learned how services are managed in Linux, and we introduced the practical commands you’ll use to control them. We gave you the theory you’ll need to make sense of all the terminology you’ll come across on a live system: what init is, what systemd does on Linux systems, and which commands you need to interact with it.
In the next chapter, we’ll show you some useful tricks for interacting with your shell and your command history, so you can save time and look like a Unix wizard from your favorite movie (it will also make you faster and more efficient at your day job, but putting it that way just doesn’t make it sound as fun).
