    This document compares the commands used for managing services with chkconfig vs systemctl. It provides the equivalent systemctl commands for common chkconfig tasks like listing processes, enabling/disabling services, and starting/stopping services. The document was written to help users transition from chkconfig to systemctl as many Linux distributions have moved to using systemd instead of sysVinit.

    Cheat Sheet: systemctl vs chkconfig

    January 19, 2012 · 1 min · Benjamin Cane


    Since I've mostly been using Red Hat or the gui desktop of Ubuntu lately I've neglected to
    notice the transitions from the sysVinit packages to systemd. Recently I installed Fedora 16
    and was a little surprised when chkconfig didn't work anymore. I decided I would write a
    post that gives the systemctl version of a few common chkconfig commands.

    List processes
    chkconfig:
    # chkconfig --list

    systemd:
    # systemctl list-units

    Enable a service
    chkconfig:
    # chkconfig <servicename> on

    systemd:
    # systemctl enable <servicename>.service

    Disable a service
    chkconfig:
    # chkconfig <servicename> off

    systemd:
    # systemctl disable <servicename>.service

    Start a service
    chkconfig:
    # service <servicename> start

    systemd:
    # systemctl start <servicename>.service

    Stop a service
    chkconfig:
    # service <servicename> stop

    systemd:
    # systemctl stop <servicename>.service

    Check the status of a service


    chkconfig:
    # service <servicename> status

    systemd:
    # systemctl status <servicename>.service
