00:00:06,930 --> 00:00:07,763
- In this lesson,

2
00:00:07,763 --> 00:00:09,328
we will talk about Systemd.

3
00:00:09,328 --> 00:00:12,540
Systemd is the manager of everything.

4
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:14,207
It is used on most Linux distributions,

5
00:00:14,207 --> 00:00:16,770
but not on WSL.

6
00:00:16,770 --> 00:00:18,480
And that is because, as I told you,

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,070
when we installed WSL in
Windows, subsystem for Linux,

8
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:25,590
Windows is taken care of specific parts

9
00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:28,920
and that includes service
management as well.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,434
Systemd is the first thing that is started

11
00:00:30,434 --> 00:00:32,795
after starting the Linux kernel.

12
00:00:32,795 --> 00:00:36,540
And the main function
is to manage services.

13
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:37,373
Apart from that,

14
00:00:37,373 --> 00:00:41,640
it also manages mounts and
timers and paths and much more.

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,580
And nice thing about systemd
is that it is event driven,

16
00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:47,376
and that means that it can
react to specific events.

17
00:00:47,376 --> 00:00:50,913
And it's extremely cool
in managing dependencies.

18
00:00:51,810 --> 00:00:53,880
Now, the items that are managed by systemd

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,620
are called units,

20
00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:58,380
and there are many units available,

21
00:00:58,380 --> 00:00:59,640
but you should focus on learning

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,800
how to manage services with systemd.

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,180
And that's what we are going to talk

24
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:04,623
about in the next video.
