rc-service:tldr:c2d41
The command sudo rc-service ${service_name} restart
is used to restart a service in a Unix-like operating system using the rc-service
command.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
sudo
: It is a command used to run another command with superuser privileges. It is used to execute the subsequent command with administrator or root access. -
rc-service
: It is a command used in Gentoo-based Linux distributions to manage the services on the system. It is used to start, stop, restart, and manage services. -
${service_name}
: This is a placeholder syntax indicating that the actual name of the service should be substituted in its place. You need to replace${service_name}
with the actual name of the service you want to restart. -
restart
: It is an option used withrc-service
to specify that the specified service should be restarted.
So, when you run the sudo rc-service ${service_name} restart
command, with the ${service_name}
replaced by the actual service name, it will restart the specified service with root privileges.
