SELinuxenabled

SELinuxenabled is a command-line utility used on Linux systems that employ Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to check the current status of SELinux. SELinux is a mandatory access control (MAC) security mechanism that provides a flexible and robust way to enforce security policies on a system. When SELinux is enabled, it restricts processes and users from performing actions that are not explicitly permitted by the security policy.

The SELinuxenabled command simply outputs a message indicating whether SELinux is enabled or disabled on the system. If SELinux is active, it will typically report that SELinux is enabled. Conversely, if SELinux has been disabled or is not installed, the command will indicate that SELinux is disabled. This utility is primarily used for quick status checks and basic troubleshooting, allowing administrators to confirm the operational state of SELinux without needing to delve into more complex configuration files or commands. It is a straightforward tool for a fundamental security assessment.
