LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
JOB    = Pending job for the unit.

28 units listed. Pass --all to see inactive units, too.

[2]	Stop a service. The example below means stop 'sendmail' and disable auto-start at booting system.

[root@dlp ~]#

systemctl stop sendmail.service

[root@dlp ~]#

systemctl disable sendmail.service

rm '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sendmail.service'

[3]	There are some SysV services on Fedora 17. Those are controled by chkconfig like below.

[root@dlp ~]#

chkconfig --list
