To check the status of SSH service in CentOS, you can use the following command:

sudo systemctl status sshd

This will display the current status of the SSH service, including whether it is running and if there are any errors. If the SSH service is running, it should display “active (running)”. If it is not running, you can use the following command to start the SSH service:

sudo systemctl start sshd

You can use the following command to stop the SSH service.

sudo systemctl stop sshd

If you need to restart the SSH service, you can use the following command:

sudo systemctl restart sshd

These commands can help you inspect and control the SSH service in CentOS.
