Someone tell me if there is a better way to do this, but I don’t see how.
I needed a way to see which services I have enabled that I have manually stopped.
There oddly isn’t a way to do this in one command, so I had to take the output of list-unit-files ‘enabled’, and use that to filter for ‘list-units’. The command is here:
alias sysstop='systemctl list-units --state=failed,dead,exited $( systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled --type=service | awk "/.*\.service/ {print }" )'
So now I can remember that I need to restart mariadb and nginx at some point:
$ sysstop
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
blueman-mechanism.service loaded inactive dead Bluetooth management mechanism
mariadb.service loaded inactive dead MariaDB 11.2.2 database server
NetworkManager-wait-online.service loaded active exited Network Manager Wait Online
nginx.service loaded inactive dead A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server
systemd-homed-activate.service loaded active exited Home Area Activation
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service loaded active exited Wait for Network to be Configured
My other aliases are here, in case anyone finds these helpful. I use them frequently myself.
alias sysdis='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=disabled'
alias sysdisuser='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=disabled --user'
alias sysen='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=enabled'
alias sysenuser='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=enabled --user'
alias sysfail='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=failed'
alias sysrun='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running'
alias sysrunuser='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running --user'
alias sysstatic='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=static'
Can’t you do
systemctl status [service]to check that?That’s only for a single service, not really what OP seems to be asking for
Only if you know what the [service] is. In my case, I’m prone to forgetting so this way I can see what should be running but isn’t
