Currently the 'systemctl is-active' command does not load units to minimise its effect on the system (i.e. that a monitoring command does not itself alter the state of the system). However, this behaviour leads to inconsistencies when services are aliased. [Test case] - Test case 1 - libvirtd alias service : libvirtd aliased service : libvirt-bin /etc/systemd/system$ ls -la libvirtd.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 May 13 20:49 libvirtd.service -> /lib/systemd/system/libvirt-bin.service $ systemctl is-active libvirtd inactive $ systemctl is-active libvirt-bin active - Test case 2 - sshd alias service : sshd aliased service : ssh /ect/systemd/system$ ls -la sshd.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Mar 19 19:44 sshd.service -> /lib/systemd/system/ssh.service $ systemctl is-active sshd inactive $ systemctl is-active ssh active [Regression Potential] This fix may result into systemctl reporting inconsistent information concerning the status of a service.
