Ubuntu systemctl - no more prompts please How to stop this password prompt when starting service on ubuntu. I just want it gone, for every systemctl service, forever. mick@81774X:~$ systemctl start myservice ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units === Authentication is required to start 'mysertvice.service'. Authenticating as: mick,,, (mick) Password: ```

Only the superuser can manage services through the systemctl. There is no way to remove this behavior, just workarounds.

The safest option: allow the superuser to execute the command without a password and use `sudo systemctl start myservice`

To do this, enter `sudo visudo` find the line `%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL` and add after it: `%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl` Save the file (by default `Ctrl+o` then `Enter` then `Ctrl+x`) Now you can use the command `sudo systemctl start myservice` without password.
