How do I start a network service in Ubuntu?

In Ubuntu, you can start a network service using the systemctl command. The systemctl command is used to manage system services, and can be used to start, stop, restart, and check the status of services.

Here’s the basic syntax for starting a service using systemctl:

sudo systemctl start service_name

Where service_name is the name of the service you want to start.

For example, to start the Apache web server, you would run the following command:

sudo systemctl start apache2

You can check the status of a service to see if it’s running by using the following command:

sudo systemctl status service_name

For example, to check the status of the Apache web server, you would run the following command:

sudo systemctl status apache2

If the service is running, you will see a message indicating that the service is active and running.

Note that you will need to run the systemctl command with elevated privileges, either by logging in as the root user or using sudo.
