install package on Centos 7
 

I use Centos 7 and have just installed vsftpd to the server , I want to start vsftp service after install , when I tried the command "systemctl |grep vsftp" , it show nothing .

I use previous , all services keep at /etc/rc.d/init.d , what I need to do is /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd start .

Please advise what I need to do for Centos 7 to start vsftpd ?

thanks

Though "restart" works too.
Should work if your're using systemV

If you're using systemD
to list all services registered
assuming vsftpd is listed you need to check it it's enabled.
assuming it's there and registered, to start it.
Then check the status
hope that helps.

thanks reply ,

I can restart it by "systemctl start vsftpd.service" , it works .

But I am wonder how do I know the service name is "vsftpd.service" ? as I can't find it by the command "systemctl list-units --type service --all" , when I use your string "systemctl list-units --type service --all" , it display nothing.

Thanks

No problem. I didn't know either until you asked, I don't support any systemD instances. I just thought it was an interesting question so I looked it up for you from the vendors "for pay only" web site.

Legal Disclaimer:
I didn't just cut and paste the answers, oh no, for that would be sin and a violation of all that is true and just (our contracts with the vendor, for example)
I committed them to memory and wrote them down after I left the site utilizing nothing but my newly developed (though apparently defective) skill set.
So Help Me God.

Try "type=service" not "type service"
