Show system status using:
$ systemctl status
List running units:
$ systemctl
or:
$ systemctl list-units
List failed units:
$ systemctl --failed
The available unit files can be seen in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ and /etc/systemd/system/ (the latter takes
precedence). List installed unit files with:
$ systemctl list-unit-files
Show the cgroup slice, memory and parent for a PID:
$ systemctl status pidStart a unit immediately:
# systemctl start unit
Stop a unit immediately:
# systemctl stop unit
Restart a unit
NOTE: restart in systemd is not equivalent to start stop and start. For example in certain case it does not change
ownership of run socket in Docker.
# systemctl restart unit
Ask a unit to reload its configuration:
# systemctl reload unit
Show the status of a unit, including whether it is running or not:
$ systemctl status unit
Check whether a unit is already enabled or not:
$ systemctl is-enabled unit
Enable a unit to be started on bootup:
# systemctl enable unit
Enable a unit to be started on bootup and Start immediately:
# systemctl enable --now unit
Disable a unit to not start during bootup:
# systemctl disable unit
Mask a unit to make it impossible to start it (both manually and as a dependency, which makes masking dangerous):
# systemctl mask unit
Unmask a unit:
# systemctl unmask unit
Show the manual page associated with a unit (this has to be supported by the unit file):
$ systemctl help unit
Reload systemd manager configuration, scanning for new or changed units:
reload example above.# systemctl daemon-reload
polkit is necessary for power management as an unprivileged user. If you are in a local systemd-logind user session and no other session is active, the following commands will work without root privileges. If not (for example, because another user is logged into a tty), systemd will automatically ask you for the root password.
Shut down and reboot the system:
$ systemctl reboot
Shut down and power-off the system:
$ systemctl poweroff
Suspend the system:
$ systemctl suspend
Put the system into hibernation:
$ systemctl hibernate
Put the system into hybrid-sleep state (or suspend-to-both):
$ systemctl hybrid-sleep

SyslogLevel=
See syslog(3) for details. This option is only useful when StandardOutput= or StandardError= are set to syslog or kmsg . Note that individual lines output by the daemon might be prefixed with a different log level which can be used to override the default log level specified here.The interpretation of these prefixes may be disabled with SyslogLevelPrefix= , see below. For details, see sd-daemon(3) . Defaults to info .

The Current Log Level
To check the log level of systemd , which are currently set, and then use the show command of systemctl command.
* To set the 'LogLevel' parameter of -p option.
systemctl -pLogLevel show LogLevel=infoHow to Temporarily Change the Log Level
To temporarily change the log level of systemd , use the set-log-level option of systemd-analyze command.
It is an example to change the log level to notice.
systemd-analyze set-log-level noticeHow to Permanently Change the Log Level
To enable the log level you have also changed after a restart of the system , change the ' LogLevel ' of /etc/systemd/system.conf .
It is an example to change the log level to notice.
vi /etc/systemd/system.conf #LogLevel=info LogLevel=notice

Systemd crash course
Find "unit" – that's the new name for "init script name" to us oldtimers:
systemctl list-units --type=service # this one is way more verbose systemctl list-unitsEnable or disable a service:
systemctl enable ossec systemctl disable ossecStart, stop, restart, reload, status:
systemctl start sshd systemctl stop sshd systemctl restart sshd systemctl reload sshd # status, gives some log output too systemctl status sshdCheck ALL the logs, follow the logs, get a log for a service:
journalctl -l journalctl -f journalctl -u sshdInstall a systemd service:
(This is what a systemd service description looks like)cat > ossec.service << EOF [Unit] Description=OSSEC Host-based Intrusion Detection System [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control start ExecStop=/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control stop [Install] WantedBy=basic.target EOF # now copy that file into the magic place, /etc/init.d in the old days install -Dm0644 ossec.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ossec.service # now make systemd pick up the changes systemctl daemon-reload
![systemd components]()
Remote logging
OK so you now know your way around this beast.
Now you want remote logging.According to the Arch wiki [#], systemd doesn't actually do remote logging (yet. what else doesn't it do?) but it will helpfully spew its logs onto the socket
/run/systemd/journal/syslogif you knock twice, gently.To convince systemd to write to this socket, go to
/etc/systemd/journald.confand setForwardToSyslog=yesthen issue a journald restart
systemctl restart systemd-journaldYou can install syslog-ng and it should pick up the logs. Test it now by making a log entry with
logger -t WARN zooland check /var/log/syslog.log
If you have a distro runDemocratic Party Neoliberals Monday morning quarterbackingning systemd, then hopefully syslog-ng will be recent enough to be aware enough of systemd that things should just work at this point.
If it don't, syslog-ng.conf's
source src { system(); };isn't picking up the socket file. Fix this by adding the socket explicitly by changing the source in/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conflike so:source src { unix-dgram("/run/systemd/journal/syslog"); internal(); };if you are working with a laptop or desktop then the
console_allon tty12 is handy too:log { source(src); destination(console_all); };
