+According to Leon Feng:
Systemd support shortform service name now. See the wiki page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Using_Units


For now, this only seems to work for starting, stopping and reloading services. Unfortunately it doesn't yet seem to work for enabling or disabling them. If I try for example

sudo systemctl enable netcfg@Kyle

or

sudo systemctl disable netcfg@Kyle

I receive the following error:

Failed to issue method call: Invalid argument

If I use the .service suffix, it works as expected.

sudo systemctl start netcfg@Kyle

and

systemctl stop netcfg@Kyle

also work as expected. Maybe it's a bug, but for now, I'll just remember the .service suffix unless I find out this behaviour is indeed abnormal. Thanks for the link. The wiki page is well written and helped prevent some potentially major headaches.
