How to find if a service is runnning?

How to find if a service is running or why didn't a service start?

 

That depends on which Operating System is used.
If it is somewhat recent GNU/Linux, I would first use

Code:

systemctl --state=failed

If you are interested in a particular service,

Code:

systemctl status nameofservice

shows info on that service, and if it is not running should show info on finding more information.
