CompTIA XK0-005 Dumps Questions Answers

To apply changes to a systemd service unit file, the administrator needs to reload the systemd daemon using the command systemct1 daemon-reload (B). This will make systemd aware of the new or changed unit files. The other commands will not reload the systemd daemon or apply the changes. References:

The administrator should use the command kill -TERM to forcibly stop the process. The kill command is a tool for sending signals to processes on Linux systems. Signals are messages that inform the processes about certain events and actions. The processes can react to the signals by performing predefined or user-defined actions, such as terminating, suspending, resuming, or ignoring. The -TERM option specifies the signal name or number that the kill command should send. The TERM signal, which stands for terminate, is the default signal that the kill command sends if no option is specified. The TERM signal requests the process to terminate gracefully, by closing any open files, releasing any resources, and performing any cleanup tasks. However, if the process does not respond to the TERM signal, the kill command can send a stronger signal, such as the KILL signal, which forces the process to terminate immediately, without any cleanup. The administrator should use the command kill -TERM to forcibly stop the process. This is the correct answer to the question. The other options are incorrect because they either do not terminate the process (kill -1 or kill -3) or do not terminate the process forcibly (kill -15 or kill -HUP). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 14: Managing Processes, page 431.

To safely reduce the size of journald logs, journalctl --rotate forces log rotation, and journalctl --vacuum-time=1s removes entries older than the specified time. This approach efficiently manages log files without directly deleting files, which could risk corruption. CompTIA Linux+ advises controlled log management for journald to avoid unintended data loss.
