This depends on your version of Ubuntu, but for most recent versions, you can use the `systemctl` command (as root).

These are pretty simple commands:  
`systemctl status ignition` – Check the status  
`systemctl start ignition` – Start it now  
`systemctl stop ignition` – Stop it now  
`systemctl enable ignition` – Autostart on boot  
`systemctl disable ignition` – Remove the autostart symlinks

Older versions of Ubuntu generally use init scripts.
