# 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*
