Linux services Timesavers

We could start and enable services (make persistent between reboots) in a single command which is helpful in the below situations among others:

• using it in scripts
• while adding new services into the IT environment
• during change activities which require stopping and disabling of services

This is available in all Linux systems having systemd as their system and service manager.

To start and enable a systemd service

systemctl enable service --now

To stop and disable a systemd service

systemctl disable service --now
