I type in the following command on two separate machines both running Ubuntu:

service ssh status

Output of machine 1:

ssh start/running, process 25369

Output of machine 2:

● ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2016-03-31 15:56:49 BST; 4min 1s ago

           ├─1868 su root

           ├─2172 /usr/sbin/sshd -D
           └─2176 systemctl status ssh.service

Mar 31 15:56:49 (computer's hostname) systemd[1]: Started OpenBSD Secure Shell server.
Mar 31 15:56:49 (computer's hostname) sshd[2172]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.
Mar 31 15:56:49 (computer's hostname) sshd[2172]: Server listening on :: port 22.

I then type the following command:

service ssh restart

Output of machine 1:

ssh start/running, process 25369

No output whatsoever on machine 2.

I get similar results with all the services (not only with SSH). How do I get machine 2 to output the same as machine 1 when dealing with the service command?

The problem was with systemd... So I removed it by running:

sudo apt-get install upstart-sysv

The "service" command is finally outputting the same as any other Linux distribution... Without the unneeded extra garbage!
