🧩 Linux Service Sorter: Can You Classify These Commands?

🧩 Introducing the Linux Service Sorter

System administrators often encounter different service management systems on Linux: systemd, init.d, and older legacy service tools. Keeping these straight is crucial when managing multi-distro environments!

This interactive drag-and-drop tool challenges you to sort a variety of Linux service-related commands into their correct categories. Think you can tell systemctl enable nginx from chkconfig httpd on? Try it out and see!

  • βœ… Real-time scoring as you drag
  • πŸŒ™ Dark mode for late-night Linux love
  • 🧠 Great for certification practice and onboarding

How it Works

Simply drag each command to one of three boxes: Systemd, Init.d, or Legacy. You’ll get instant feedback and score updates. Missed one? No worries β€” try again until you get them all!

My name is Skylar Pearce, I have been working as a System Administror since 2013 as well some side consulting work. During my career I have worked with everything from Active Directory and vCenter to configuring routers and switches and phone systems, documenting and scripting my way through the whole thing. I have a Security+ certification and am currently working on my PenTest+. Throughout my career I have gained almost all of my knowledge from blogs like this. It is now time for me to pay it back. Over time I have gathered scripts and tricks over the years that I will share on this site. A lot of the posts here will be mainly reference posts, some will be full on how to’s. I am happy to go into more depth on any other topics I go over here, just make a comment on a post. I will do my best to post once a day on weekdays but as I run out of ideas it may slow down. My WordPress skills are still growing so the site will likely get better over time as I learn. You can reach me at contact@allthesystems.com or on LinkedIn
