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'

Don’t you start a service with system tl servicename?
Yes,
systemctl start [servicename]
But I wanted to see what I have stopped and not started again
OK, that’s nothing I can help you with.
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
systemctl status | grep stopped
I think you’re thinking of
systemctl list-units --type=service --state=stopped
status gives the state of the system and a cgroup tree
