Why you need to Restart SSH Service

Issue: The service is already running after Ansible stopped it, which looks like sshd was never stopped in the first place. Command used to check the status: service ssh status. I used this command with state:stopped also but the sshd is still running. I have been facing this issue for so long. I tried with state:restarted also. Sudo stop ssh sudo start ssh As it leverages upstart, this is The Best Way™ to do it, rather than using /etc/init.d/ssh, service, or invoking sshd directly. Make sure to run both commands; if you get an error on stop ssh, start ssh anyway and see what it says—the service could already be stopped.

As root System Administrators its one of the common tasks you need to be done on live servers is restarting services.If you change ssh configuration file (for example you change the SSH port number) this modification require a restart to take effect.

SSH service by OpenSSH is normally provided by the sshd daemon. In most Unix-based operating systems the daemon process can be managed by systemd, System V. Init scripts or the service command.

You can use all three methods to manage your SSH server on most platforms. Common options include the ability to start, stop and restart the SSH. You can also view detailed status of the running sshd daemon and set to whether or not to automatically start sshd during system startup.

Some distributions use sshd instead of ssh as the name of their init script.

Steps to manage OpenSSH server from command line:

1. Start SSH service using systemd.
2. Configure SSH to automatically start during system boot.
3. Configure SSH service to not automatically start during system boot.
4. View SSH status using systemd.
