[ RESOLVED ] systemctl: command not found

systemctl: command not found




When you are trying to start a service in Cent OS 6 environment with above command, you may have noticed that the above command is giving an error,

$ systemctl start postgresql

systemctl: command not found


The reason is quite straightforward, being a part of systemdsystemctl is not available in CentOS 6. The package is available from Cent OS 7 version.

In Cent OS 6 you can use instead,

service postgresql start 

Please note that the service name and the operation definitions are interchanged when using the service command.
