Service units: A unit configuration file whose name ends in . service encodes information about a process controlled and supervised by systemd . —  systemd.service(5) systemd service units are the units that actually executes and keeps track of programs and daemon, and dependencies are used to make sure that services are started in the right order. They are the most commonly used type of units. Socket units: A unit configuration file whose name ends in ".socket" encodes information about an IPC or network socket or a file system FIFO controlled and supervised by systemd , for socket - based activation . —  systemd.socket(5) socket units on the other hand don't actually start daemons on their own, instead they just sit there and listen on an ip and a port, or a UNIX domain socket, and when something connects to it the daemon that the socket is for is started and the connection is handed to it. This is useful for making sure that big daemo...

Satellite 6.2 introduces remote execution, automating workflows and enabling users to take multiple actions against groups of systems, such as rebooting a system after a patch install or conduct rolling upgrades across hundreds of systems as easily as one. Users can easily build a script library, share scripts and share repeatable workflows, enabling less experienced administrators to execute complex workflows. In addition, users can schedule tasks and use new dashboards for enhanced interaction with systems under management. Deploying a single server Just install the Landscape Quickstart package: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:landscape/16.06 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install landscape-server-quickstart After it finishes, access it with a browser like  https://hostname.example.com/ Where  hostname.example.com  is the output of  hostname -f  on that machine, or just  hostname  if that fails to resolve.

Emptying the buffers cache You can signal the Linux Kernel to drop various aspects of cached items by changing the numeric argument to the above command. To free pagecache: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches To free dentries and inodes: # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches To free pagecache, dentries and inodes: # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches Swap If you want to clear out your swap you can use the following commands. $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7987492 7298164 689328 0 30416 457936 -/+ buffers/cache: 6809812 1177680 Swap: 5963772 609452 5354320 Then use this command to disable swap: $ swapoff -a You can confirm that it's now empty: $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7987492 7777912 209580 0 39332 489864 -/+ buffers/cache: 7248716 738776 Swap: ...
