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. ---

Use `sudo systemctl list-units` to review the names in your system. v8.1 uses `Ignition-Gateway` as the service name, IIRC. (I always override that to plain `ignition` when I install.) Upper-case versus lower-case matters. ---
