[systemd-devel] Early testing for service enablement

[Martin Wilck]

Hi all,

is there a way to test whether a certain service is enabled (or is
going to be enabled) that would work even very early in the boot
process (in our case from udev rules called in the "udev trigger" phase
both in initrd and after switching root)?

I tried calling "systemctl is-enabled" but it obviously depends on some
services (dbus, I guess) being functional, and didn't provide reliable
results during early boot for us. 

We finally resorted to scanning *.wants directories by ourselves, but
that's of course sub-optimal (poor mans partial implementation of
systemd's service enablement logic). 

Regards
Martin
