I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and trying to make gpsd work as sever. Documentation here.

I use service --status-all to see the list:

...
 [ - ]  checkroot-bootclean.sh
 [ - ]  checkroot.sh
 [ + ]  console-setup
 [ + ]  cron
 [ - ]  cups
 [ + ]  cups-browsed
 [ + ]  dbus
 [ + ]  gdm3
 ----------------
 [ - ]  gpsd  
 ----------------
 [ + ]  grub-common
 [ - ]  hostname.sh
 [ - ]  hwclock.sh
 [ + ]  irqbalance
 [ - ]  kerneloops
 [ - ]  keyboard-setup.dpkg-bak
 [ - ]  killprocs
 [ + ]  kmod
 [ + ]  lm-sensors
 [ - ]  lvm2
 [ + ]  lvm2-lvmetad
 [ + ]  lvm2-lvmpolld
 [ - ]  mountall-bootclean.sh
 [ - ]  mountall.sh
....

Gpsd shows [ - ], as it's inactive. Now, I want to make it [ + ].

I read and asked How to Stop GPSD daemon? but I now need help on how to start/activate the process/daemon gpsd.

To start/stop/restart gpsd:

sudo systemctl start gpsd
sudo systemctl stop gpsd
sudo systemctl restart gpsd

To manage the gpsd.service alone:

sudo service gpsd start
sudo service gpsd stop
sudo service gpsd restart
sudo service gpsd status
