Sorry, didn't spot that you had chained command. You also need to 'stop' the socket to fully stop everything, you need to stop 'gpsd' and 'gpsd.socket'.: $ systemctl stop gpsd.service Warning: Stopping gpsd.service, but it can still be activated by: gpsd.socket $ systemctl stop gpsd.socket Or in one invocation: $ systemctl stop gpsd.socket gpsd In the output that you have provided, an sysvinit script seems to be called but there is a systemd service file provided by Debian. Also from one of your link: "# /etc/systemd/system/gpsd.socket.d/socket.conf [Socket] # First blank ListenStream clears the system defaults ListenStream= ListenStream=2947 ListenStream=/var/run/gpsd.sock" That is don't touch '/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.socket' but add in '/etc/systemd/system/gpsd.socket.d/socket.conf' only what need to be changed.
