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)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2020-11-23 01:23:04 UTC; 2 weeks 0 days ago
● 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
