Which systemctl command starts a service immediately?

  • Asystemctl start nginx
  • Bsystemctl enable nginx
  • Csystemctl reload nginx
  • Dsystemctl status nginx

Why this is the answer

start activates the unit right now for the current boot. enable only creates the boot-time symlinks and does not start the service immediately.
