“ systemctl start”和“ systemctl enable”之间有什么区别？

我在计算机上安装了MariaDB服务器。设置时遇到了一个问题，我是否必须一直启用它，因为我遵循的文档包含以下步骤，

sudo yum install mariadb mariadb-server 
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service  
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service

systemctl start并systemctl enable做不同的事情。

enable 会将指定的单元挂接到相关位置，以便它将在启动时或插入相关硬件时自动启动，或根据单元文件中指定的内容在其他情况下自动启动。

start 立即启动设备。

disable和stop分别是相反的。

这意味着，当您首次安装MariaDB时，可能需要运行systemctl enable mariadb.service以启用它，以便在启动时启动。您可能还想运行systemctl start mariadb.service，或者只是重新启动，以启动MariaDB。要停止MariaDB，请运行systemctl stop mariadb.service（它将在下次启动或手动启动时再次启动）。要禁用它，使其不再在启动时启动，请运行systemctl disable mariadb.service。

从该systemctl手册页：

enable NAME...
   Enable one or more unit files or unit file instances, as specified
   on the command line. This will create a number of symlinks as
   encoded in the "[Install]" sections of the unit files. After the
   symlinks have been created, the systemd configuration is reloaded
   (in a way that is equivalent to daemon-reload) to ensure the
   changes are taken into account immediately. Note that this does not
   have the effect of also starting any of the units being enabled. If
   this is desired, either --now should be used together with this
   command, or an additional start command must be invoked for the
   unit.
   ...
   Enabling units should not be confused with starting (activating)
   units, as done by the start command. Enabling and starting units is
   orthogonal: units may be enabled without being started and started
   without being enabled. Enabling simply hooks the unit into various
   suggested places (for example, so that the unit is automatically
   started on boot or when a particular kind of hardware is plugged
   in). Starting actually spawns the daemon process (in case of
   service units), or binds the socket (in case of socket units), and
   so on.

本质上，enable将服务标记为在启动时启动，并start实际上立即启动该服务。

从systemctl版本220开始，启用和禁用支持--now开关，以在启用/禁用的同时启动/停止服务。

例如 systemctl --now enable foobar.service

使用systemctl --version检查您安装的版本。
