Linux provides a wide range of system services (such as process management, login, syslog, cron, and more), as well as network services (remote access, email, printing, web hosting, data storage, file transfer, DNS, DHCP, and so on).
In essence, a service is a process or a group of processes that run continuously in the background, waiting for requests—most often from clients.
Linux offers several ways to manage services: start, stop, restart, or enable them to launch automatically at boot. Nearly all modern distributions rely on the same process manager — systemd.
