If you are having trouble utilizing Systemctl commands on a CentOS Docker container, there are a few things you can try:

Make sure that the Systemd package is installed on the container. You can do this by running the following command:
```
yum install systemd
```
Verify that the Systemd service is running. You can check this by running the following command:
```
systemctl status systemd-journald.service
```
If the service is not running, you can start it with the following command:
```
systemctl start systemd-journald.service
```
Ensure that the container is running with the privileged flag. This flag allows the container to access the host's Systemd process. You can run the container with the following command:
```
docker run --privileged ...
```
Try to run the Systemctl command with the "--no-ask-password" option. Some Systemctl commands require a password, which might not be available in the container environment. The "--no-ask-password" option disables the password prompt. For example:
```
systemctl --no-ask-password start <service-name>
```
Check if the container's version of CentOS supports Systemd. Some older versions of CentOS may not support Systemd, in which case you might need to upgrade the container to a newer version.

If none of these solutions work, you might need to consider using a different container image or modifying the way your application runs in the container.
