Restart Service

Restart a service

Price range: €15.12 through €19.12

Command:

bash
sudo systemctl restart {service_name}

Explanation:

  • sudo: Runs the command with superuser privileges, which is typically required to manage system services.
  • systemctl: The system and service manager in modern Linux distributions (e.g., CentOS, Ubuntu) that controls system services.
  • restart: Tells systemctl to stop and then start the specified service, effectively restarting it.
  • {service_name}: The name of the service you want to restart (e.g., nginxapache2ssh).

Example:

To restart the nginx service, the command would be:

bash
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Result:

This command will restart the nginx service, stopping it and then starting it again. Any changes made to the service configuration will be applied after the restart.


Additional Notes:

  • To check the status of a service after restarting, you can use:
    bash
    sudo systemctl status {service_name}

    For example:

    bash
    sudo systemctl status nginx
  • If you want to reload the service without completely restarting it (for example, to apply configuration changes), you can use:
    bash
    sudo systemctl reload {service_name}
