Control daemons for systemd in chroot environment
=====================

Servicectl - bash script start/stop service (daemons) for linux using systemd in chroot and SysVinit outside the chroot environment.
servicectl management daemon uses the service files of systemd, e.g. /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

Introduction
---

Systemd is not working in chroot environment:
```bash
sudo systemctl start nginx
Running in chroot, ignoring request.
```
If your base system (outside chroot):
* used systemd, please refer to guide: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/changing-roots
* used SysVinit script, then you can use servicectl.

Requare for chroot system (inside chroot):
* installed systemd
