Enable Services

Now that ngIRCd and Atheme are installed and configured let's enable their services.


                          
                            
                              
                                systemctl enable ngircd athemed
                              
                              
                                systemctl start ngircd athemed

You can view the status of both services with the following command.


                          
                            
                              
                                systemctl status ngircd athemed

You should see similar output.


                          
                            
                              
                                ● ngircd.service - Next Generation IRC Daemon
                              

                              

                                Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ngircd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

                                ● athemed.service - Atheme IRC Services Daemon
                              
                              
                                Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/athemed.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
                              
                              
                                Active: active (exited) since Mon 2020-11-23 01:23:04 UTC; 2 weeks 0 days ago

Notes

If you're having trouble with either the ngircd or athemed daemon starting up, you can narrow down the cause with journalctl.


                          
                            
                              
                                journalctl -u ngircd
