How can I list all enabled services from systemctl?
I know systemctl lists all services, but I would like to only get the enabled ones.

what do you mean by enabled? You mean services that are running?

@Gen enabling a service is quite different from starting it. Seeman systemctl.

Fascinating. The lowest rated answer is the most "correct" answer, even though it is clearly not the best answer. This excellent question (and its answers) is an interesting example of how systemd violates the long-standing (and brilliant) design principles of Unix & Co. @FelipeAlvarez complains that the most-accepted answer assumes systemd follows the unix design philosopy, but systemd/systemctl can do exactly what he wants (most experienced users will just consider that complete bloat). I begin to see more clearly why Linus Torvalds is so vehemently critical of systemd.

systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled will list all enabled ones.
If you want which ones are currently running, you need systemctl | grep running.
Use the one you're looking for. Enabled, doesn't mean it's running. And running doesn't mean it's enabled. They are two different things.
Enabled means the system will run the service on the next boot. So if you enable a service, you still need to manually start it, or reboot and it will start.
Running means it's actually running right now, but if it's not enabled, it won't restart when you reboot.

@FelipeAlvarez Correct. But that's how Linux works. Many small binaries that work well with each other. systemctl does what is asked, it lists services. There is no filtering command built-in to systemctl because grep already exists and can do that well with any program's output. It's how it's always been :)

man systemctl states:
--state=
The argument should be a comma-separated list of unit
LOAD,SUB, orACTIVEstates. When listing units, show only those in the specified states. Use--state=failedto show only failed units.
Explanation:
LOAD: Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.ACTIVE: The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.SUB: The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
Though you can also use this to only show enabled units with:
systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
If a unit is enabled that means that the system will start it on startup. Though setting something to enabled doesn't actually also start it so you will need to do that manually, or reboot the system after setting it to enabled.

To list all the
systemdservice which are instate=activeandsub=running
systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running
To list all the
systemdserice which are instate=activeand sub either running or exited
systemctl list-units --type=service --state=active
Hope this solves the problem.

To see 'enabled' services including these that are still under upstart/init run:
systemctl list-unit-files --type service --state enabled,generated
To see all of the currently running services run:
systemctl list-units --type service --state running

Unfortunately the names of the services can be different in the two lists - e.g.sshdvs.sshandsyslogvs.rsyslog.

@ReinierPost: I can't help it that the manpage doesn't give info on that, I provided the best answer I could with the information I had. As you can see, there is another answer which is accepted.

I know, but it's wrong (misleading) to keep a wrong answer up unmodified, and everybody seems to do it when this particular question is concerned (this is not the only instance).

No, that's a reason to qualify your answer.

To see 'enabled' services including these that are still under upstart/init run:
systemctl list-unit-files --type service --state enabled,generated
To see all of the currently running services run:
systemctl list-units --type service --state running

Unfortunately the names of the services can be different in the two lists - e.g.sshdvs.sshandsyslogvs.rsyslog.

what do you mean by enabled? You mean services that are running?

@Gen enabling a service is quite different from starting it. See
man systemctl.– Jos

Fascinating. The lowest rated answer is the most "correct" answer, even though it is clearly not the best answer. This excellent question (and its answers) is an interesting example of how systemd violates the long-standing (and brilliant) design principles of Unix & Co. @FelipeAlvarez complains that the most-accepted answer assumes systemd follows the unix design philosopy, but systemd/systemctl can do exactly what he wants (most experienced users will just consider that complete bloat). I begin to see more clearly why Linus Torvalds is so vehemently critical of systemd.
