+# systemd
+
+_systemd_ is a suit of basic building blocks for a linux system.
+It provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest of the system.
+
+## Basic systemctl usage
+
+The main command used to introspect and control _systemd_ is `systemctl`.
+Some of its uses are examinig the system state and managing the system and services.
+
+### Using units
+
+Units commonly include, but are not limited to, services (.service), mount points (.mount),
+devices (.device) and sockets (.socket). When using `systemctl`, you generally have to
+specify the complete name of the unit file, including suffix, for example `sshd.socket`.
+There are a few short forms when specifying the unit int the following `systemctl` commands:
+- If you do not specify the suffix, systemctl will assume _.service_
+- Mount points will automatically be translated into the appropriate _.mount_ unit.
+ For example `/home` is equivalent to `home.mount`
+- Similar to mount points, devices are automatically translated into the appropriate _.device_ unit.
+ Therefore specifying `/dev/sda2` is equivalent to `dev-sda2.device`
+
+| Action | Command | Note |
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
+| **Show system status** | `systemctl status` | |
+| **List running** units | `systemctl` or `systemctl list-units` | |
+| **List failing** units | `systemctl --failed` | |
+| **List installed** unit files | `systemctl list-unit-files` | |
+| **Show process status** for a PID | `systemctl status pid` | cgroup slice, memory and parent |
+| **Show a manual page** associated with a unit | `systemctl help unit` | as supported by the unit |
+| **Status** of a unit | `systemctl status unit` | including whether it is running or not |
+| **Check** whether a unit is enabled | `systemctl is-enabled unit` | |
+| **Start** a unit immediately | `systemctl start unit` | |
+| **Stop** a unit immediately | `systemctl stop unit` | |
+| **Restart** a unit | `systemctl restart unit` | |
+| **Reload** a unit and its configuration | `systemctl reload unit` | |
+| **Enable** a unit to start auatomatically at boot | `systemctl enable unit` | |
+| **Enable** a unit to start auatomatically at boot and **start** it immediately | `systemctl enable --now unit` | |
+| **Disable** a unit to no longer to start at boot | `systemctl disable unit` | |
+| **Reenable** a unit | `systemctl reenable unit` | i.e. disable and enable anew |
