Real noob question: I was running a script on Linux- systemctl and I want to search for a specific file but before I can type in the new code | grep 'filenames I need to get the prompt back but am unable to do so, I have tried using the space bar along with a few other commands but nothing seems to work. Is there anyway for me to get this back without ending the process?

  • I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. Posting the complete command might help. Might it be that you want to run a command in the background? You can type an ampersand (&) at the end of it for that. Like mplayer myaudiofile.mp3 & and the prompt will be available for a new command while the computer still plays the music. – Quora Feans Sep 14 '22 at 21:52
  • Press q. Is this what you wanted? – Kamil Maciorowski Sep 14 '22 at 21:59
  • We definitely need more information here. systemctl looks at services, not at file names. Are you running a script within your service file? Can we see what the script contains? – doneal24 Sep 14 '22 at 21:59
