How To Use Systemctl to Manage Alta Services

Service is an application process with specified name and own configuration. You may launch on your server one or more services depends on your need.

Systemd



Systemd is a popular service manager for Linux-based operating systems. It is used to manage the services and processes running on the system, including starting and stopping services, checking their status, and managing their logs. Systemd is also responsible for launching services when the system starts up, ensuring that all necessary services are running before users can access the system.

Service management



To register new service launch initialization wizard with next command:

sudo alta init


After finishing the initialization wizard a service will be added to the system. The service can be managed with the commands:

CommandDescription
systemctl restart altaRestart service
systemctl start altaStart service
systemctl stop altaStop service
systemctl status altaService status
systemctl enable altaLaunch service on system startup
systemctl disable altaDisable autorun
journalctl -fu altaService logs


In this example we used default service name alta.
