while talking off-list with Gabriel and Stefan I argued that `systemctl
is-enabled` probably costs as much as running `systemctl enable` for a
service (open socket - tell pid 1 to do stuff, wait for result) - so
now took the time to look into it (with strace, and ignoring what pid 1
does) - in this case the output of `strace -yyttf systemctl enable frr`
vs. `strace -yyttf systemctl is-enabled frr` is around 2.5 orders of
magnitude (58k vs 9.9M) - and even for a service which does not ship an
init-script anymore (thus causing a few forks for systemd-sysv-install),
it's 56k vs 3.3M.
in any-case a `-e /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/frr.service`
is probably the most economic version.
I tried figuring out if this check could break due to external
cirumstances - if the service is started as part of a target and that
target is pulled into multi-user.target - the symlink is not present
(e.g. zfs-zed) - but even then we'd fall back to the "expensive" enabling.
summing up - the existence check seems sensible to me as well.
