1 Zynthian systemD startup

When playing with a Zynthian never forget this is all just Linux underneath. And at the moment ( October 2021) that means you are going to be using Systemd, the latest in several methods of starting up a system. It seems to do things reasonably quietly and primarily revolves around unit file which are chunks of start up procedure with dependencies on other services right back to bare metal.

You have two primary ways of interacting

  • systemctl
  • journalctl

1.1 systemctl

This allows maintenance of the systemd environment allowing you to stop, start and extract a status from the running services that SystemD is managing.

Just typing systemctl on the command line.
