  <pre><code>[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start mssql-server
  Job for mssql-server.service failed because start of the service was attempted too often. See "systemctl status mssql-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
  To force a start use "systemctl reset-failed mssql-server.service" followed by "systemctl start mssql-server.service" again.
  [root@localhost ~]# systemctl reset-failed mssql-server.service
  [root@localhost ~]# systemctl start mssql-server.service
  [root@localhost ~]# systemctl status mssql-server.service
