TechRepublic contributorJack Wallen wrote these command-line primers. Wallen, who has been using Linux and writing about it for more than 20 years, knows the ins and outs of most Linux distributions, as well as how to keep systems running smoothly.

Linux administrators must know how to control services via the command line. Because many Linux servers are headless, there is no GUI app to help you out. So when Apache, NGINX, MySQL, and Docker need to be started, restarted, or stopped, you’ll need this skill in your back pocket. Some services have their own control commands while others depend on systemctrl. For example, for distributions that work with systemd, the primary control command is systemcrl. For non-systemd distributions, the control command is service. A few applications may even have their own control command.
This download will get you up to speed on how to work with each type of command.
