Comment 1 cornel panceac 2011-07-26 14:07:13 UTC

To clarify last line above: it displays 0 whether the service is enabled or not, as long as it's not in /lib/*/ .

Example:

# systemctl enable sshd.socket

# ls -l /lib/systemd/system/*wants/ | grep -i sshd

# ls -l /etc/systemd/system/*wants/ | grep -i sshd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 Jul 26 16:45 sshd.socket -> /lib/systemd/system/sshd.socket

# systemctl is-enabled sshd.socket;echo $?
0

# systemctl disable sshd.socket
rm '/etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/sshd.socket'

# systemctl is-enabled sshd.socket;echo $?
1

But

# ls /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/
dbus.service                   getty.target           plymouth-quit-wait.service  systemd-ask-password-wall.path
fedora-sysinit-unhack.service  plymouth-quit.service  rc-local.service            systemd-user-sessions.service

# mv /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/rc-local.service ~

# systemctl --system daemon-reload

# ls /lib/systemd/system/*wants/ | grep -i rc-local

# ls /etc/systemd/system/*wants/ | grep -i rc-local

# systemctl is-enabled rc-local.service ; echo $?
0

Comment 2 cornel panceac 2011-07-28 06:43:55 UTC

Oops, returns 0 as long as it *is* under /lib . Sorry for this.

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2011-10-20 16:28:45 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Michal Schmidt 2011-12-16 00:25:41 UTC

In F16 this is fixed - 'systemctl is-enabled ...' prints the state to stdout.
It's not the kind of change that would be good to backport at this point, so WONTFIX for F15.
