Question: 1 / 400

Which command would you use to stop a service called bluetooth.service?

systemctl halt bluetooth.service

systemctl stop bluetooth.service

Using the command `systemctl stop bluetooth.service` is the appropriate method to stop a service in Linux that utilizes the systemd system and service manager. This command specifically instructs systemd to terminate the specified service immediately.

When you want to stop a service, invoking `stop` with `systemctl` changes the state of that service from active to inactive, ensuring it does not run until it is explicitly started again. This is particularly useful for services like `bluetooth.service`, which can be started or stopped based on system requirements or user preferences.

Other commands presented do not serve the function of stopping a service. For instance, "halt" generally refers to stopping the entire machine rather than individual services, and "end" and "deactivate" are not valid systemctl operations. The proper terminology and functionality tied to systemctl is crucial for effective service management in a Linux environment.
