Linux Services - From Oracle Linux 6 to Oracle Linux 7

Oracle Linux 7 is based on Fedora19, where the previous Oracle Linux 6, 5 are based on Red hat Enterprise. The switch from sysvinit to systemd is now part of the Enterprise Linux distributions. Below is just some simple commands to start/stop services

 

Starting and stopping service

#systemctl stop httpd

#systemctl start httpd

#systemctl restart httpd

#systemctl status httpd

 

Autostart service when boot, chkcofig replaced with

# systemctl start dbora.service

# systemctl enable dbora.service

 

List of services currently running

systemctl list-units --type service

 

I’ll update this post when new commands discovered.
