I ran service hostapd restart; systemctl status hostapd and
that one said:

● hostapd.service - LSB: Advanced IEEE 802.11 management daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/hostapd; generated; vendor preset: enabled)

However, running systemctl status hostapd a second time after a minute had
changed:
