[This question](https://askubuntu.com/questions/795226/how-to-list-all-enabled-services-from-systemctl) asks: "How to list all enabled services from systemctl?" Answers on that page include: systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled At least as of systemd version 229 (on Ubuntu 16.04), systemctl list-unit-files will not include "LSB" services that are launched via legacy init scripts. Therefore, the original question seems to remain unanswered: Can systemd display a list of ALL the services (and other unit types) that it will try to start at boot, including legacy services? Consider: $ systemctl list-units | grep LSB | grep grub grub-common.service loaded active exited LSB: Record successful boot for GRUB $ systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled | grep grub || echo 'nothing found' nothing found $ systemctl is-enabled grub-common grub-common.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install is-enabled grub-common enabled systemctl knows about grub-common, and if you ask explicitly systemctl will tell you it is enabled. So... is there a way to get systemd to display a list of ALL the services it will attempt to run at boot, including legacy scripts?
