How to manage services？such as systemctl

[dong-lufei]

Your CentOS9 does not seem to recognize systemctl and service

By the way, do you want something else like Ubuntu-WSL

How to enable or manage this version of process service?

I get an error as soon as I use the command

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

Create a file "/etc/wsl.conf" with content like this:

[boot]
systemd=true

And reboot wsl.

The problem is solved：

PS C:\Users\merit> wsl -l -v
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* alpine                 Stopped         2
  Rocky9                 Stopped         2
  docker-desktop-data    Stopped         2
  kali-linux             Stopped         2
  docker-desktop         Stopped         2
  ubuntu1804             Stopped         2
  CentOS7                Stopped         2
PS C:\Users\merit> wsl --version
WSL 版本： 1.1.3.0
内核版本： 5.15.90.1
WSLg 版本： 1.0.49
MSRDC 版本： 1.2.3770
Direct3D 版本： 1.608.2-61064218
DXCore 版本： 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows版本： 10.0.22000.1574

update wsl2 ifself, then the file "/etc/wsl.conf" will take effect.
