Systemd system and services manager can be controlled using the\u00a0systemctl command<\/a>\u00a0line utility. It enables you to manage\u00a0systemd<\/strong>\u00a0locally or on a remote Linux machine over the SSH protocol.<\/p>\n

In this short article, we will show you how to manage systemd system and service manager on a remote Linux machine over a SSH session.<\/p>\n

Attention<\/strong>: We recommend using public\/private key pairs for passwordless authentication for SSH, as opposed to passwords, and also employing additional methods to secure SSH service, as explained in these guides.<\/p>\n

    To connect to a remote server, run\u00a0systemctl<\/strong>\u00a0with the\u00a0--host<\/code>\u00a0or\u00a0-H<\/code>\u00a0flag as follows. In the command below, we are connecting to the remote server as the\u00a0root<\/strong>\u00a0user and\u00a0status<\/strong>\u00a0is a subcommand of systemctl utility used to view the status of the\u00a0httpd<\/strong>\u00a0service on\u00a0centos.temint.lan<\/strong>\u00a0(remote Linux server).<\/p>\n

    $ systemctl --host root@centos.temint.lan status httpd.service\r\nOR\r\n$ systemctl -H root@centos.temint.lan status httpd.service\r\n<\/pre>\n

    Similarly, you can also start, stop or restart remote systemd service as shown.<\/p>\n
    $ systemctl --host root@centos.temint.lan start httpd.service   \r\n$ systemctl --host root@centos.temint.lan stop httpd.service\r\n$ systemctl --host root@centos.temint.lan restart httpd.service\r\n<\/pre>\n
    To end the session, simply type\u00a0[Ctrl+C]<\/code>. For more information and usage options, see the\u00a0systemctl<\/strong>\u00a0man page:<\/p>\n
    $ man systemctl \r\n<\/pre>\n
