Systemctl是一个systemd工具，主要负责控制systemd系统和服务管理器。
Systemd是一个系统管理守护进程、工具和库的集合，用于取代System V初始进程。Systemd的功能是用于集中管理和配置类UNIX系统。
在Linux生态系统中，Systemd被部署到了大多数的标准Linux发行版中，只有为数不多的几个发行版尚未部署。Systemd通常是所有其它守护进程的父进程，但并非总是如此。
使用Systemctl管理Linux服务
本文旨在阐明在运行systemd的系统上“如何控制系统和服务”。
Systemd初体验和Systemctl基础
1. 首先检查你的系统中是否安装有systemd并确定当前安装的版本
# systemd --version systemd 215 +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +SYSVINIT +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +ACL +XZ -SECCOMP -APPARMOR
上例中很清楚地表明，我们安装了215版本的systemd。
2. 检查systemd和systemctl的二进制文件和库文件的安装位置
# whereis systemd systemd: /usr/lib/systemd /etc/systemd /usr/share/systemd /usr/share/man/man1/systemd.1.gz # whereis systemctl systemctl: /usr/bin/systemctl /usr/share/man/man1/systemctl.1.gz
3. 检查systemd是否运行
# ps -eaf | grep [s]ystemd root 1 0 0 16:27 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --switched-root --system --deserialize 23 root 444 1 0 16:27 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald root 469 1 0 16:27 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd root 555 1 0 16:27 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind dbus 556 1 0 16:27 00:00:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation
注意：systemd是作为父进程（PID=1）运行的。在上面带（-e）参数的ps命令输出中，选择所有进程，（-a）选择除会话前导外的所有进程，并使用（-f）参数输出完整格式列表（即 -eaf）。
也请注意上例中后随的方括号和例子中剩余部分。方括号表达式是grep的字符类表达式的一部分。
4. 分析systemd启动进程
# systemd-analyze Startup finished in 487ms (kernel) + 2.776s (initrd) + 20.229s (userspace) = 23.493s
5. 分析启动时各个进程花费的时间
# systemd-analyze blame 8.565s mariadb.service 7.991s webmin.service 6.095s postfix.service 4.311s httpd.service 3.926s firewalld.service 3.780s kdump.service 3.238s tuned.service 1.712s network.service 1.394s lvm2-monitor.service 1.126s systemd-logind.service ....
6. 分析启动时的关键链
# systemd-analyze critical-chain
The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.

Apr 28 17:46:06 tecmint systemd[1]: Mounted Temporary Directory.
19. 在启动时激活、启用或禁用挂载点（系统启动时自动挂载）
# systemctl is-active tmp.mount # systemctl enable tmp.mount # systemctl disable tmp.mount
20. 在Linux中屏蔽（让它不能启用）或可见挂载点
# systemctl mask tmp.mount ln -s '/dev/null' '/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount' # systemctl unmask tmp.mount rm '/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount'
使用Systemctl控制并管理套接口
21. 列出所有可用系统套接口

22. 在Linux中启动、重启、停止、重载套接口并检查其状态
# systemctl start cups.socket # systemctl restart cups.socket # systemctl stop cups.socket # systemctl reload cups.socket # systemctl status cups.socket cups.socket - CUPS Printing Service Sockets Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.socket; enabled) Active: active (listening) since Tue 2015-04-28 18:10:59 IST; 8s ago Listen: /var/run/cups/cups.sock (Stream) Apr 28 18:10:59 tecmint systemd[1]: Starting CUPS Printing Service Sockets. Apr 28 18:10:59 tecmint systemd[1]: Listening on CUPS Printing Service Sockets.
23. 在启动时激活套接口，并启用或禁用它（系统启动时自启动）
# systemctl is-active cups.socket # systemctl enable cups.socket # systemctl disable cups.socket
24. 屏蔽（使它不能启动）或显示套接口
# systemctl mask cups.socket ln -s '/dev/null' '/etc/systemd/system/cups.socket' # systemctl unmask cups.socket rm '/etc/systemd/system/cups.socket'
服务的CPU利用率（分配额）
25. 获取当前某个服务的CPU分配额（如httpd）
# systemctl show -p CPUShares httpd.service CPUShares=1024
注意：各个服务的默认CPU分配份额=1024，你可以增加/减少某个进程的CPU分配份额。
26. 将某个服务（httpd.service）的CPU分配份额限制为2000 CPUShares/
# systemctl set-property httpd.service CPUShares=2000 # systemctl show -p CPUShares httpd.service CPUShares=2000
注意：当你为某个服务设置CPUShares，会自动创建一个以服务名命名的目录（如 httpd.service），里面包含了一个名为90-CPUShares.conf的文件，该文件含有CPUShare限制信息，你可以通过以下方式查看该文件：
# vi /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/90-CPUShares.conf [Service] CPUShares=2000
27. 检查某个服务的所有配置细节
# systemctl show httpd Id=httpd.service Names=httpd.service Requires=basic.target Wants=system.slice WantedBy=multi-user.target Conflicts=shutdown.target Before=shutdown.target multi-user.target After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target systemd-journald.socket basic.target system.slice Description=The Apache HTTP Server LoadState=loaded ActiveState=active SubState=running FragmentPath=/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service ....
