[Freeswitch-users] How FreeSwitch starts on Debian 8

That's because it now uses systemd to start up the service, not sysvinit. To start it up you can either go
systemctl start freeswitch or service freeswitch start

To enable/disable it, you'd go:
systemctl enable freeswitch or systemctl disable freeswitch

systemd now automatically recovers crashed services so there isn't a need to install monit like most of us did back in the 1.2 era.
