Services

Before checking the status of the SSH service, make sure you have the SSHD service enabled.

• Turning ON the SSHD service at boot time

  systemctl enable sshd.service

  To turn it off at boot time, please enter systemctl disable sshd.service.

• Check if a service is enabled or disabled

  systemctl status sshd.service

  It will display a message of active or inactive service.

• Reload SSHD configuration changes

  systemctl start sshd.service
  systemctl restart sshd.service
  systemctl stop sshd.service
  systemctl reload sshd.service

  The start option will initiate the SSHD service, stop will stop it, and finally, restart or reload will refresh the new configurations.
