# pf9-muster Service is in Dead State

## Problem

*pf9-muster* service is seen to be in a dead state.

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - All Versions

## Answer

*pf9-muster* is NOT a *systemctl* service as it runs as a *init.d* process.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Status Check via Systemctl" %}

```bash
$ systemctl status pf9-muster
● pf9-muster.service - LSB: Muster
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/pf9-muster; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Status Check via init.d" %}

```bash
$ /etc/init.d/pf9-muster status
pf9-muster (pid  16502) is running...
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
