Avoid using sudo for starting/stopping services

I'm used to using sudo in order to start/stop services.



I'd like to add a capability to an user in order to avoid using the sudo command. I am using Ubuntu 18.08.



I don't know which capability nor how to grant it.



Any ideas?

  • The answer to this varies by operating system, by version of that operating system, and by choice of service management on that operating system. In this form, where none of that is stated, it is too broad to be answerable.
