Systemd und service control under fedora

I must say I am currently a bit lost in the different mechanisms to start and stop services. I used to perform these tasks with the standard /etc/init.d/... scripts. But it seems that it does not work completely in this way. There seems to be now systemctl, service and chkconfig commands.

service sshd start

to start the ssh daemon.

service sshd stop

to stop the ssh daemon.

chkconfig sshd on

to enable the ssh daemon so as to start it after boot.

To use systemd, the following commands come handy:

systemctl start sshd.service

to start the ssh daemon.

systemctl stop sshd.service

to stop the ssh daemon.

systemctl enable sshd.service

to enable the ssh daemon so as to start it after boot.

Fedora and chkconfig

I was having some troubles with the starting up of my linux box. Now these problems are solved or at least I hope so :-). The problem seemed to lie with haldaemon or messagebus. After reading a bug description for my problem on bugzilla, I had the solution. (see the bugzilla bug page for bug : 444410). The priorities of some services in runlevel 5 had to be corrected. this can be performed using: $ /sbin/chkconfig --level 5 resetpriorities with being the service's name, e.g NetworkManager, messagebus, ...
