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.
