1
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,259
So how does
it work in wsl?

2
00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:12,589
Well, there's a little bit of
confusion, and that is because WSL

3
00:00:12,589 --> 00:00:16,339
version 1 doesn't use systemd,
it uses a service command instead.

4
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:20,685
Like old Linux distributions,
I.e. linux distributions before

5
00:00:20,685 --> 00:00:24,390
approximately the year
2014, more or less.

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,960
So systemd is really something from the
last decade. And service is pretty old.

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:38,000
So if you don't have systemctl, there's a service command
and in the service command the order is just inversed.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,039
So service, then the name of the service, and
then start or status or whatever you want to do.

9
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:51,623
Probably you don't have to do that very
often by default because WSL doesn't run many services

10
00:00:51,623 --> 00:00:56,906
by default. That is what most people are
doing on Linux. But nothing prevents you from using

11
00:00:56,906 --> 00:01:02,189
sudo apt, install, whatever to install the whatever
service and then you need to manage it.

12
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:08,234
On WSL version 2, it's so much
easier because it uses systemd, so you

13
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:13,519
can use systemctl for managing services just
the way how you normally do it.

14
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,239
Let me demonstrate here we have wsl.
How does all of this work in wsl?

15
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:26,050
Well, to start with,
let me install an

16
00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:30,290
application, sudo apt, install
yvs ftpd for instance.

17
00:01:32,590 --> 00:01:38,000
And then what do we see?
Well, let me clear screen and

18
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,409
let me do a sudo systemctl
status on vsftpd and there we

19
00:01:43,409 --> 00:01:48,819
can see that vsftpd is
running. That makes it easy.

20
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:53,909
Now in older versions of
WSL you didn't have the

21
00:01:53,909 --> 00:01:58,099
systemd installed. You needed to
use the service command instead.

22
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,890
Then it would be
sudo service vsftpd status,

23
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:08,740
which is giving the
same kind of information.

24
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:10,400
So
easy.

25
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,909
Just use sysmd if
you are on WSL2.
