unknown job `servicename`

unknown job error ubuntu

Service is installed but when you try to start, stop or restart, it gives you unknown job error. 
If you are facing this problem in root account, here is the solution.

Use sudo with your command but there should be no need to use sudo in root account. Use sudo and if your command is executed successfully, it means you have not created alias for sudo.

Add this line in .bashrc file of root.
alias service="sudo service"
You will find the file here i.e. /root/.bashrc
