rc-service: Start a service.
$ sudo rc-service ${service_name} start
try on your machine
The command "sudo rc-service ${service_name} start" is used to start a service on a UNIX-like system using the "rc-service" command with elevated privileges (sudo).
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "sudo": It is a command used to run another command with superuser privileges. It allows users to execute a command as the root user or another user.
- "rc-service": This is a command available in systems that use OpenRC as the init system. It is used to manage services.
- "${service_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the service you want to start. You should replace "${service_name}" with the specific service's name, for example, "nginx" or "apache2".
- "start": It is the argument passed to the "rc-service" command to specify that the service should be started.
By combining these components, the command essentially starts the specified service using the "rc-service" command with elevated privileges.
