Hi,
I am learning Linux and, just in order to do exercises, I wanted to
monitor the functioning of services that, I thing, should run on fedora.
So, with the command : service *smartd* status
I got :
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status *smartd.service*
● smartd.service - Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (SMART) Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smartd.service; enabled)

the same for *cups*....
● cups.service - CUPS Printing Service

but I was wonder that services as :
*DHCP, SAMBA*, ..... was not working.... :
the command : sudo service *samba* status
give me :
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status samba.service
● samba.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason:*No such file or directory*)
Active: inactive (dead)
for *SAMBA* I give a look to check if it is installed, and I found:
sudo yum list installed | grep samba
samba-client.x86_64 2:4.1.17-1.fc21 @updates
samba-common.x86_64 2:4.1.17-1.fc21 @updates
samba-libs.x86_64 2:4.1.17-1.fc21 @updates
samba-winbind.x86_64 2:4.1.17-1.fc21 @updates
samba-winbind-clients.x86_64 2:4.1.17-1.fc21 @updates
samba-winbind-modules.x86_64 2:4.1.17-1.fc21 @updates
So, ...
after this test I am confuse .......
What is the reason why some important services are not running by
default on Fedora 21?
Could I have an explanation ?
First, the "service" command is the old interface to the initscripts
mechanism which (unfortunately IMHO) is being replaced by systemd and
systemctl. For convenience, things like "service samba start" is being
redirected to "systemctl start samba.service". This will not continue
for much longer (it is deprecated).
You don't have the Samba server installed, so systemctl is telling you
there is no "samba.service" thing defined. If you DID have the Samba
server installed, the systemctl target would be "smb.service".
You don't need to run the Samba server if all you're going to do is try
to mount CIFS shares from a Windows server. All that requires is the
client code (which you do have installed).
The same is true of DHCP. You most likely don't have a DHCP server
installed or configured, so "systemctl start dhcpd.service" isn't going
to buy you anything either.
